This morning I tried to sign up for a yahoo and flickr account. I hate signing up for new things these days. All the common login names that I use are often taken and so it takes me forever to find something that a) I will remember, and b) I consider appropriate. So after spending what seemed like ages search through possible logins, I found one that would work. I enter in the rest of my details including another email address to validate it against. I thought I was on the home run and was following the instructions of validating my alternative email address. I clicked the link, and stared in confusion and disblief as this error message appeared.
Just to clarify, the values in the both black boxes, are the same. So yahoo is telling me that I’m logged into the wrong account to validate the address against (despite the fact that I have only one account with them). Then they tell me to that I need to log out of account X and sign into account X. Well this surely has to be a “confussed.com” moment if ever there was one.
