Upcoming and Flickr …?!

Looks like all the back-tagging of stuff I’ve done hasn’t worked so well: Flickr recognizes the tags towards Upcoming, as here in my example, but if you go to the corresponding Upcoming event, it’s not been spidered. Even worse, surfing via that Upcoming-oriented Flickr tag merits … nothin’. [If you’ll look, every photo I posted in my set from the Mercy Lounge show is tagged appropriately.

Great concept, but … one out of three is bad. :(

    Definitely a bug. We’ll get right on it, thanks.

    It looks like your Flickr account is NIPSAed for some reason. None of your photos show up in public places on Flickr, not just for that particular tag. I contacted the Flickr team and asked them about the flag.

    Thanks, Andy! Nothing like getting the big cheese to show up. ;)

  4. Andy Baio:

    I just talked to Flickr and they removed the NIPSA flag, which was put there because you were posting screenshots when you first created your account.

    Sure enough, your photos are now showing up on the Upcoming.org events.

  5. Geof F. Morris:

    Thank you again, Andy. I really appreciate it.

    Upcoming and Flickr!…

    All my issues with Upcoming and Flickr were of my doing. Many thanks to Andy Baio for taking a personal interest in my stuff, getting a certainly-deserved NIPSA flag pulled off of my account, and getting me back in the game. Above-and-beyond my e…
