Flickr: The Help Forum: Other sites pick up wrong Flickr ID when I input my screen name
I use a few lifestreaming sites, and when I input my screen name (danielleesale) they all seem to forward to screen name daniel-lee-sale with a flickr id of 75194773@N00 , which is a deleted account with no pictures.
Any idea why they may be doing this?
I'd like "danielleesale" to be associated with 13709758@N00 only.
And according to idgettr.com/ , that is the way it should be.

Have you tried inputting with spaces, or using your Flickr ID (not your custom URL)?

What do you mean by inputting with spaces?
I've tried using the flickr ID, but as luck would have it, they want the screen name.

Your screen name reads as "Daniel Lee Sale", not danielleesale.
Flickr might be interpreting it differently from the other.
(Or the other sites might just not be very sophisticated when they pull names from here, of course.)

Spaces aren't safe for internet transmissions, by the way.
I believe they are encoded as %20.
This was a gotcha for years for Mac users going to the Internet back in the 90s when they tried to upload files named something like "my file" and it showed up as "my%20file" and wouldn't be found.
Just in general principals, you might consider not using names with spaces if they're going to be used in a URL.
