-You have a Yahoo! ID, and you'd like to sign up for Flickr. (Sign in via Yahoo! and hey presto! a new Flickr account will be yours...)
Sign in with flickr if:

So I go, Hmm, I already registered with flickr, aaaand I DON'T wanna merge my accounts, and I didn't sign up before 8-15-2005, but I HAVE "never merged anything related to Flickr with anything else". So I try to log in with flickr.
And so I type in the email and password, and it goes WHUH-OH
The email address "atlantima@yahoo.com" is tied to a Yahoo! account. Please sign in through Yahoo!
So I'm like uh okay. And it gives me a choice to either
"Activate a new Flickr account"
or
"Merge your existing flickr.com account into your Yahoo! ID"
BUT I ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND I DON'T WANNA MERGE IT!!!
So I try typing in butts! to the first option, and it's all
Phooey! The screen name "butts!" is already taken.
Here are some alternatives if you'd like to use one of them. Otherwise, just try again.
butts!1
butts!2005
And I'm like
scream
So I go for merging the account. Whatever. It asks for my email and password. and then
That email address (atlantima@yahoo.com) has already been tied to a Yahoo! account.
WELL DUH OF COURSE BECAUSE IT IS A YAHOO ACCOUNT
If Alex hadn'a deleted all the cookies then I'd still be signed in and this wouldn'a happened. evil
So, long story short, I can never log into flickr again. Unless I wanna make a new account, which I don't. mad
