I Love my Fiancée but she isnt that bright.

Greg McMullin  Pro User  says:

Its my birthday! Yay!

My fiancée decided to get me a Flicker Pro account because I have been wanting one for ages! However she went through the wrong purchase option and had bought herself one instead! Sigh.

Is there any way I can transfer the pro status to my existing account? Or am I screwed.

As it stands my Fiancée is in tears convinced she had ruined my birthday. She hasn't of course, the lovely gesture she made of (Trying to) buy me a pro account has really made my day. I just hope there will be some way I can actually use it!

Please hope me Flickr...

Greg

It did sound like Brenda was trying to correct gregs problem by buying him a flickr account that she mistakenly bought for herself. It looked that way at least. LOL!

See this comment from Heather (Flickr staff) about the transfer of pro-ness when purchased in error. I don't know if the policy has changed since then but I think the best thing to do would be for mumbi83 to send a Help by Email explaining what's happened. Do let us know how you get on. Oh and happy birthday greg.mcmull.in!

Hey! Darn iPod did an autocorrect that I didn't notice. Wools! Argh! Woops!!

(although, wools is starting to grow on me. Omg I should give up now.)

Greg. Pleased it was all fixed up for you.

Greg McMullin  Pro User  says:

Brenda! Keep your code its all sorted!

Heather! Thank you so much!

People! Don't worry about Mumbi being worried about the thread title. In real life she is a medical doctorist or something and is a LOT more brighter then me. However I am the one who looks after the tech in the household. Next time I attempt a heart bypass she can get me back.

The good points about this debacle are that Mumbi now has a flickr account. She has been running round the flat all night taking random photos. And I am now a pro! Woo!

As for going somewhere exotic on the honeymoon take alook at my ohotostream for my Kenya photos (where I proposed). Mumbi is a Kenyan through and through so we will be spending our honeymoon in a photographers paradise!

Thank you all for the help and support.

Flickr rule!
