Something truly terrible happened. Some how, something or someone changed my Yahoo! password to my dlatchana account, which was used for my last Flickr account.

I don't know what the new password is, I've spent ages trying to get a new one, and Yahoo! can't help. I've lost loads of great pictures, comments, groups and friends. I'm shattered and for weeks I've felt really empty and saddened by the whole affair.

All said and done, I've now started a new account. Gradually I'll get back my friends and restore my flickr memories.

To everyone, be careful with your investment into Flickr. Make sure you have backups of your photos and make sure your Yahoo! registration details are in check.
