Title: FLICKR/ I PAD
Post by: Fay on Jan 05, 2017, 16:14:04
I am a paid member of Flickr and all is well on my phone and desketop.

all was well on my I Pad, but since a couple of weeks ago Flickr says I am not a member and I should sign in or change password etc. as I could have had my account compromised.

Not sure what to do. if  I change password then i will mess up the phone and desktop connection. also how do I know it is a genuine request to join FLICKR

Thanks

Fay

go on to your desk top log into flicker and change your password in flicker,
uninstall the app on the ipad and then reinstall it,
it will ask you for your login details, which you know because you have just changed them.

safest way.
