![]() Yahoo! is pleased to share that the Flickr team has fully restored a member’s account that was mistakenly deleted yesterday. Here’s the statement Yahoo released a day after Wilhelm got the bad news: The mix-up began after Wilhelm submitted a support ticket to Flickr concerning the account of another user who he suspected of stealing his photos.ĭespite Flickr’s initial assurance that it would not be able to recover any of the photos, Wilhelm eventually received word that he would not only be getting a free pro membership for 25 years - not just the four years Flickr initially offered - but his photos would be miraculously coming back, complete with Wilhelm’s organized sets, comments and favorites. In this case, such a grace period would have allowed Wilhelm to notice his account had been wrongly nuked. Wilhelm vented his well-earned frustrations in a blog post titled “You Have Got To Be F******g Kidding, Yahoo!” Wilhelm, who works in IT, was at a loss to explain how Flickr could turn an “active” account into a “deleted” one without a “deactivated” period, during which it would be possible to address any issues. ![]() Again, I am deeply sorry for this mistake. ![]() Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do. Once I restore your account, I will add four years of free Pro to make up for my error. I know that there is a lot of history on your account–again, please accept my apology for my negligence. I can restore your account, although we will not be able to retrieve your photos.
