It is just so long :'(

I thought that changing my screen name would change the URL of my photos & proile but it hasn't.

Is there any way of changing it?

	Canopus Archives says: So Sue*, how did you go about changing your URL which can't be changed as I'm sure everyone would like to know? Quote FAQs: Flickr has a firm policy on not changing personalized URLs to maintain data, metadata and link integrity.* Considering it would have been a very big thing to change a URL against Flickr policy you must have some memorable clue to how you did it. Did you perhaps work closely with Flickr staff to make a one off case exception due to unusual circumstances? Posted 73 months ago. ( permalink )

	Su℮ ❥ says: Yep. Thats the default url I changed...Last year. All I asked was if there was a way I could change it again. :-s Posted 73 months ago. ( permalink )
