You are all correct.
I got it mixed up. Flickr was owned by Yahoo. Flickr lost many users when Yahoo bought it and nearly ruined it.

I just posted on CH. Twice. I hadnāt visited in months or posted in a couple of years. All this talk got me curious so I went to the Houston board. There is an uptick in activity since the crash, but nothing major.
Thereās a guy looking for blue crabmeat less than 8 ounces so I steered him to H Mart and suggested he cook his own. Another was Galveston Bay seafood restaurants. Iām a sucker for Houston area seafood topics.
Forgot my new password three days ago - have been completely unable to reset it. Error message after error message, emailed the mods and got no response. So here I am among the few who still is willing to deal with CH and Iām getting shut out! Shit! not even the bragging rights of being banned.

They reset my password a couple of months ago, out of nowhere. I found it weird, but at least I was still able to log in since then.
Well, 12th or 13th times the charm, it would seem. Iām back in but still never got any reply from the site to my email. Whatever. So glad weāve got HO.
Iāve got to say, at this point I think itās time to put this thread to rest.
The posts seem to serve no purpose now other than to get
our attention back there. If the thread was titled āfor those of us
who still post regularly on CHā,I would not giveit another thought.
Just my humble opinion.

So I did a drive by this morning and someone was asking about restaurants in Ogunquit. I posted a link to my post here. Weāll see!
Note to all: no need to there, itās gone. Well, of course. They and their āfansā (?) read here, too.
my link is gone? already?
So I go to CH fairly often to see what I can see and find new peeps for here. Last time I had to change my password and then I couldnāt log in anymore. So I try the forgot my password thing and reset it and I keep getting an error. And no way to get help. So, I guess itās bye bye!
The way to get help is to send an email to moderators@chowhound.com.
Thanks!
Youāre welcome!
Same thing happened to me last night. Had to sign in and it wouldnāt accept my usual ID + Password AND wouldnāt let me change the password to a new one. 
am I just lucky or are they doing something weird?
Apparently there is now a rule on passwords. They donāt actually tell you this. I found out when I emailed. It worked.
- Six characters minimum from at least 3 of the following categories: uppercase letter, lowercase letter, number, special character (0123456789!"#$%&ā()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_` {|}~)
ā No spaces

Yep, there is nothing to tell you what they want in a password. If I had not emailed I would still be locked out. One example of why we all left?

Except that they do. Look, I donāt mind being the Chowhound whisperer here, but itās not that hard to search for this information, if you actually want to find it.

My take on this is- if the site reset a userās password, they should tell the user there what the new password requirement is instead of having the user go look for it. If the password reset page doesnāt tell the user this, then the product manager dropped the ball (if they have a product manager still).
