Yes, I know it's late night.
BUT I WANT TO RANT ABOUT THIS!!!!! COZ IT MADE ME LOST MY MIND! I WASTED MORE THAN HALF OF THE TIME I SPENT FOR THE POST WRITING!
That's why I am still staying up late at night!
First, I was thinking to add all the pics into the pictobrowser which is said to be a very easy way to group your pics for blogging use with your flickr account. So, i created my flickr account, uploaded the pics, set them private, then tried to use the pictobuilder.
I entered my screen name....FAILED! Error message some sort of "unselect hide my profile from searches preference".
So I went to check what was wrong *considering I am a new user of flickr, it had taken me some precious time to figure it out*.
I unselected, and tried...
FAILED!
Duh???!!!
OK, I tried to search for some "Help" or at least a "Q&A" in pictobrowser website... NOTHING!! Just some simple steps guiding you how to use, without details.
Fine, I googled and looked for some helpful tips. I found one, saying that do not select private when upload the pics. So, I deleted all the pics, and re-uploaded the same pics, and left them public.
Tried again....
FAILED!! Error message "Flickr does not have public sets for this user".
WHAT?!!! SHIT, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!??
I tried and tried and tried many times, it just didn't work for me! I cleared the cache, tried different browsers, but to no avail. It looks soooooo easy to the people out there, NOT ME!
I'm really tired of trying, and frustrating... what is wrong?
Please, anybody out there, could you please HELP ME!?

Hi Liz,
I hear your frustration and I'm here to help!
a couple of things you should know about Flickr.
- it takes Flickr a few hours to allow new accounts to be accessed by third party applications like PictoBrowser (don't really know why... that's just the way they have it setup). That's why your username wasn't working at first, because PictoBrowser wasn't getting an "ok" from Flickr.
- PictoBrowser can only access public images and data from Flickr. So both, your images and your sets must be public. The easiest way to check if things are actually public is to log out of Flickr and visit your images (without login in).
I really don't want you frustrated, but happy and enjoying the goods that PictoBrowser has to offer.
So, feel free to shoot me an email if you have any problems with PictoBrowser. I usually respond within a few hours: diego@db798.com
Btw, I made PictoBrowser, so I can sure help!
peace,
Diego
Hi Diego,
Thanks for your solutions! I am surprised to meet you, the pictobrowser maker here!
Well, I tried pictobrowser just now. Again, I faced the same problem.
Anyway, I will send an email to you personally and hopefully you will guide me through.
I appreciate your help!
