据反映，31日很多用户收到Flickr的系统邮件，在这封给”Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member”（”守旧”Flickr帐户持有者）的信中，Flickr要求在3月15日之前，原先使用Email帐号登录的老用户必须绑定Yahoo账号，以后只有使用Yahoo ID才能登陆Flickr。

Flickr在被Yahoo收购后，05年曾进行过一次帐户整合，当时新的用户可直接使用Yahoo账号进行登录，而2005年8月15日前注册Flickr帐号的使用者，仍可以继续使用旧的Email帐号或选择将两个帐号合并。而这次是进入强制整合期后，所有用户都必须转到Yahoo的帐户平台。在之前的文章中我们提到，Yahoo的整合速度一向较慢，账号合并便花了二三年，而Flickr与其它Yahoo服务的整合更是遥遥无期。

虽然很多Flickr用户对被整合进Yahoo感到有些不满，但这大概也是所有被收购网站的宿命。客观的讲，相比很多被巨头收购后即没落的网站来说，Flickr近年的发展势头还是比较不错的。:D

以下是邮件原文：

Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member,

On March 15th 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.

We’re making this change now to simplify the sign in process in advance of several large projects launching this year, but some Flickr features and tools already require Yahoo! IDs for sign in — like the mobile site atm.flickr.com or the new Yahoo! Go program for mobiles,available at: http://go.yahoo.com.

95% of your fellow Flickrites already use this system and their experience is just the same as yours is now, except they sign in on a different page. It’s easy to switch: it takes about a minute if you already have a Yahoo! ID and about five minutes if you don’t.

You can make the switch at any time in the next few months,from today till the 15th. (After that day, you’ll be required to merge before you continue using your account.)To switch, start at this page:
http://flickr.com/account/associate/

Nothing else on your account or experience of Flickr changes: you can continue to have your FlickrMail and notifications sent to any email address at any domain and your screenname will remain the same.

Complete details and answers to most common questions are available here:
http://flickr.com/help/signin/

Thanks for your patience and understanding - and even bigger thanks for your continued support of Flickr: if you’re reading this, you’ve been around for a while and that means a lot to us!

Warmest regards,

- The Flickreenos
