Default Stupid Flickr question

Kathy

I have a yahoo e-mail address which is linked to Flickr so I also get a
yahoo e-mail whenever anyone comments on my photos. The e-mail subject line
reads "Recent activity on your photostream" and the body of the e-mail
contains a miniature of my photo with the comments beside each photo
commented on.

I also get an e-mail when a friend/contact posts new photos. The subject
line reads "New items from friends".
Again, these e-mails contain a miniature of the photos posted by my friends.
Clicking on these miniatures takes you to the Flickr page for that photo.
An easy way to keep track of who's posting what.

I also get a yahoo e-mail when someone send me a Flickr e-mail.

Trust this helps.

John

At Flickr: Do y'all set up the RSS feed so you know when someone
comments on your pictures? So you can comment back? I've never done
that (I'm such a newbie to social groups. I subscribe to them and then
I lurk. How social is that?) so I don't know if I'm being rude... well,
some of you may think I'm always rude. I mean ruder than normal, LOL!

Don't know anything about an RSS feed, but when I sign on, I'm shown new
uploads by contacts and can switch that view to 'recent activity' which
will show others' comments on my pics as well as followups on comments
I've made on others' pics.


OK, that's what I do too. But I log on so infrequently I see folk's
comments like years later. Just wondered if there was a way around that.
Guess I should log on more often, LOL!
