When I post to RubyTalk, I've been getting a 'your photo upload
failed' message from flickr.
Weird! Anyone else seeing this?
failed' message from flickr.
Weird! Anyone else seeing this?
I have been getting this too.
Gregory said:I'll probably set up a filter to auto-trash these, but this is
probably something that should be dealt with. :-/
Is there a ruby-talk admin that wants to complain to flickr or would
it be okay if I just contacted them?
I also have the problem. I already sent Flickr (help AT flickr.com) an
email, but more probably wouldn't hurt. The thing is, is it Flickr or
something that got hacked (heaven forbid) on ruby-talk?
Gregory Brown said:Not sure. I wonder if they require email verification. If you could
use ruby-talk as your email address, you could create this nice
annoying problem for its users.
Doug said:I've been getting the same messages. Just started today. I'm on
Macintosh
and Linux, not Windows. I use Thunderbird, not Outlook, so it has
nothing
to do with Microsoft software.

Yes. And I've already contactee them. This is waht they said:
Hello,
Flickr allows its users to upload photos via email to a
secret email address tied to their account. These can be
uploads from a cameraphone or other device, or a script, or
a regular ol' email client. When we encounter problems with
the upload, we respond back to the email address that the
upload was sent from to let them know. In this case, the
email appeared to be from a mailing list you are a member
of, so the error response got sent there. I've added the
address of your mailing list to our block list to make sure
this doesn't happen again, and gotten in touch with the user
involved to try and figure out if these upload attempts were
done on purpose or not.
Thanks for your report.
Cheers,
Myles
