Is anybody else having flickr issues? I haven't been able to sign in for two days and when I go to my flickr url is says "janedeangems.com is no longer active on Flickr." I didn't get any email from them and I haven't closed my account.

Boo hoo... :( :( :(

Weird. I'm email their customer support, pronto.

Did you delete the Yahoo ID associated with your Flickr account? That would do it.

(Der. That should say: "I'D email...")

Never mind. Apparently I broke one of the rules (which I SHOULD have read...oops!) "If you sell products, services or yourself through your photostream, we will terminate your account" I put my website in my description. I saw someone else do it and thought, what a great idea! Crap. I've been terminated :(

So sad. I spent a lot of time over the past couple of weeks uploading photos, organizing them, writing descriptions and tags, and making contacts. I guess I could start over and leave my stupid website out. I'm an idiot.

Be warned people... no links to your stores or websites in your descriptions.

Oh, never mind. Whether you do that or not, it creates a link. I have to edit my descriptions.

I'm just going to put the name of the boutique/my shop.

Good to know. I just went through and changed the wording on all my listings that show off my Etsy items. No links, no invitations to buy, no prices. Just the statement "See more of my work at stellaloella.etsy.com"; -- not even an active link. Hope that is sufficient.

Sorry this happened to you, janedean. Thank you for the warning!

I just deleted my etsy shop name from the descriptions of items, too. :(
