shewhomustFlickr wants me to verify my age. They explain that this is a result of the Online Safety Act.
It's irritating, but not impossible. The first time I encountered it, it tool me by surprise, so I just backed off, and did something else. When I haddurham_rambler ready to advise, and some pieces of ID handy, I logged in to Flickr only to be admitted straight off, and couldn't find any way to call up the relevant screen. Eventually, no doubt, the stars will align and I will persuade Flickr that I am over 18.
But while I was there, I checked my profile: I opened my Flickr account in February 2006. Which os surely evidence that I am over 18.
