Flickr Discontinuing Old Sign-in System

In a couple of days Yahoo! owned Flickr (online photo management and sharing application) will implement a policy that forces long-time users to migrate to a Yahoo! account.

I still sign in via the “Old Skool” log in page. Can I do that forever?

No. On March 15th, 2007 we’ll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr. So, you’ll need to merge your old skool Flickr account with a Yahoo! account before then - this can be a Yahoo! account you have already, or a brand new one. You can do this any time you like before March 15th, 2007 via the Merge Your Accounts page. (You’ll need to be signed in to Flickr before you start.)

It’s easy to do.
