Bug Description

I have a flickr account at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/v0xel/

Gwibber 2.29.1 doesn't work with that username (v0xel), but works with other usernames.

I've also tried using email address or my flickr id (26339015@N00) as username, but neither works.

gwibber --debug (or --verbose) doesn't provide any additional useful info.

I'm using gwibber daily ppa on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

Solved by using flickr screen name (Petar Vasić).

Maybe a string change in accounts dialog to suggest it to the new users?

Same problem here...

At the very least the dialog shouldn't ask for a Username, but Screen name.

But then again, the real username should simply just works...

For anybody else with this bug here is the solution.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/USE THIS PART AS THE USERNAME IN GWIBBER/

So for me that means using http://www.flickr.com/photos/purple_mecha/
So in Gwibber I enter - purple_mecha

Not your login address.
