RunningWithBulls.com - The curse of Sanfermin

I was uploading a bunch of photos this morning and when I tried to organize them, I got the above error message, with:

“ERROR: We were unable to load your user information. The error was “100 Invalid API Key (Key has expired)”. Please go to the Flickr bugs forum to report this error.”

On looking around the forums, specifically the bugs forum, I came (via Luodanli’s post) across the news section entry:

“12th May, 2005

We’ll we’ve gone and done it. In answer to countless requests, photo pages no longer use a Macromedia Flash wrapper to display photos; instead we are using an old technology called “DHTML.”

In addition, the “Send to Group,”"Add to Set,” and “Blog This” buttons above photos now allow you to perform relevant actions right there on the page!

And also, links now work in notes! (And we’ll soon be adding some more cool auto-linking features when the links point to Flickr pages.)

Also rolled into this release are a whole lot of little tweaks and fixes that should make your photo page viewing more enjoyable all around.”

At the time of writing there are alot of people experienceing the Invalid API key error, but I am sure as time progresses, things will be ironed out.

This entry is here, in the hope that it might save a zillion more of the same bug forum posts. Lets see.
