Valid email address subaddress being refused

When I updated my profile the interface refused to submit showing an error that I had an "Invalid" email address. I presume this is because I use a subaddress for each domain I sign up to and it parsed the "+" in the address as invalid. This is in fact a perfectly valid and needs to be accepted as valid.

Russell Harrison marked one of Nikolaj Nyholm's replies in Polar Rose as useful. Nikolaj Nyholm replied to the idea "Flickr: new People in Photos feature".

A comment on the idea "Flickr: new People in Photos feature" in Polar Rose:

That's to bad they haven't created the API calls for tagging people yet. I started tagging the people in my photos on flickr today that I've already assigned machine tags too. Very quickly it occurred to me how great it would be if I could associate my Polar Rose people with my flickr contacts and have a bounding box say 10px bigger than the exiting PR note automatically assigned. It would be SO much faster than doing nearly 600 pictures by hand!

I'll be very excited when they do add the hooks needed for you guys to integrate the services. – Russell Harrison, on October 31, 2009 02:52

A comment on the question "How long does it take before newly added friends in Facebook show up in Polar Rose?" in Polar Rose:

It did but I was sort of hoping that you might have gotten some indication from Facebook on how long those sorts of updates might take. – Russell Harrison, on October 22, 2009 20:46

The contact did eventually show up but it took at least several hours. I'd given up and gone to do something else for awhile so I couldn't tell you exactly how long that was.

How long does it take before newly added friends in Facebook show up in Polar Rose?

How long does it take before newly added friends in Facebook show up in Polar Rose? I have tagged someone with the correct name but only recently noticed they have a Facebook account. They've accepted my friend request (last night) but I don't see the Facebook contact option when I type in their name to tag a picture of them in PR. How long should it take before they show up in PR?

rharrison replied on September 30, 2009 16:43 to the question "What kind of identity providers do people want to use on Polar Rose?" in Polar Rose:

I would very much like to see OpenID support. Also, as you're accessing my flickr account to pull the pictures down I would love to have the ability to tag pictures as my flickr contacts as well. In the cases where someone has an account on both systems it would be very nice to have a way to inform Polar Rose that the two accounts belong to the same individual.

A comment on the problem "Please remove the "feature" that writes on friends' walls!!!" in Polar Rose:

Does that mean that it will be configurable to use either wall posts or notifications or that instead of wall posts you'll be switching to notifications? – rharrison, on September 30, 2009 16:36

rharrison started following the idea "actively suggest who a photo might be of..." in Polar Rose.

rharrison started following the question "Why Facebook accounts only? No OpenID?" in Polar Rose.

rharrison started following the idea "naming recommendations" in Polar Rose.

rharrison started following the question "I don't want to see Flickr photos with no faces in Polar Rose" in Polar Rose.

rharrison replied on September 29, 2009 18:27 to the idea "untagged quick view" in Polar Rose:

I'd also like this as well. There are many pictures I skipped on my first pass because I didn't have the full name for the person. I'd really like to be able to go back through them again once I've had a chance to pull up their information.

Another thing that would be very nice would be to have the unknown faces reprocessed which might match them up to each other or already tagged face instead of having to tag each one individually.

rharrison replied on September 24, 2009 00:40 to the idea "Add a view in context button" in Polar Rose:

I'd really like this as well. I've got some cousins that look an awful lot alike (especially in low light) it would be very helpful to see who else was in the picture to sort them out. Even something as simple as a link to the actual flickr page for the photo would be wonderful.

A comment on the question "Can Polar Rose add tags to Flickr rather than notes?" in Polar Rose:

That isn't actually true. Flickr's machine tags are ideally suited for this type of thing.

There are several applications using the flickr:user=usridnumber to quickly identify photos.

What a difference a day makes apparently. I just tried again in the same browser tab that's been up since yesterday and my login went as expected. Not sure what the issue was yesterday but its working now.
