You used to be able to log in via either google account, facebook etc they then changed it so you had to have a yahoo account to log in and I created a yahoo account and was able to link my flickr account to the new yahoo account but I think that was by a link in an email.

Sorry I dont know what else to suggest apart from contacting yahoo

Dont know if it will work but in your old flickr account if you go to settings and under the personal information section there is a section stating your yahoo account with an option to use a different yahoo ID for this flickr account.

When I bought my 40D the previous owner had the shutter replaced. When I used the EOS count program it said 8,000 ish actuations when I purchased it so I assumed that the shutter count had been reset.

Thanks the OM-2 two is my favourite out of the bunch looks wise I love the silver and black and it is pristine in condition. The best part is all they cost was the fuel to pick them up. Will be looking to get some B&W film to use, which do people prefer.

Got a few new toys today An Olympus OM-2n with a Zuiko 50mm f1.8 lens and a Olympus T20 flash A Nikon FG with a nikon 50mm 1.8 lens A Canon EF-M with a canon 35-80mm lens A Exakta RTL1000 with Oreston 50mm f1.8, Pentacon 135mm f2.8, Unitor 28mm f.2.8 (with a nice leather case), 2 spare...

Is it this one from manfrotto...

At £35 it is worth a go I have never used the 18-55 IS I have only used the non IS version, however a lot of people have stated that the IS version is a lot better. Enjoy the new lens

What I would like and what I will get are worlds apart I would like a 5dmkIII and a selection of 'L' lenses but what I will get is chocolate and socks probably I don't really mind though as now I have kids its all about them

The Intuos looks like a nice tablet should do the job well

I use the Wacom Bamboo tablet which was replaced by the Intuos and I really like it. It does everything I need and provides more precise control than the mouse when editing photos

I also have the 40d i started with the first 18-55 then upgraded to the canon 17-85 which was better but I now have the Tamron 17-50 2.8 non vc which in my personal opinion is a lot better than the 17-85. I would suggest waiting and saving a bit to upgrade your lens

I have to agree it is a nice shotgun it does everything I ask of it and I don't mind too much if I knock it. Don't get me wrong if money was no object I would have bought a Browning b2c

I have an old Baikal over under shotgun as I used to go pigeon shooting but with two young kids arriving finding the time now is hard. I'm planning on doing a bit of clay pigeon shooting soon though.
