Flickr Plugin Weirdness

which they obviously weren’t. I played around with this for a while, also trying my yahoo user id and getting nowhere.
Eventually I tried another flickr plugin on another site and got identical behaviour – at which point I logged a support ticket with Flickr to ask what I was doing wrong. It turns out that “username” in this case means this label here:
Never noticed that before, and its certainly not how I refer to myself, so I’m a bit confused – but hey my plugin is working! I hope this helps someone (probably me, next time I try to plug flickr in to something else) confused by flickr seeming to think you have the wrong username!
If I’m not mistaken, you can configure that in the settings of your flickr account, can’t you?
The wordpress plugin I use was more verbose, it told me to go to this url: http://idgettr.com/ to find out the id it wanted.
Ivo: you are quite right, the problem is that “lornajane” is already taken as a screen name (so why can I have it in my URL? Strange) so I had to choose something else and I never thought about it again!
