They have to match whatever proxy settings you use for the rest of your internet access.

I figured out the problem. My fault - I had incorrect proxy settings in my system preferences. Even though my access to web browsing was unaffected, FlickrExport was. So, I guess this is just a heads up if anybody else sees this error to check your network settings, even if your other internet access seems unimpaired.

Can't connect to Flickr server

Not seeing any reports of this problem on your forum, so maybe it's just me, but for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong! Here's the problem -

I've been using FlickrExport for a while - probably a year or so. All of a sudden, a couple of weeks ago, I got an error when I went to export photos to Flickr. the error says "Could not communicate with Flickr. FlickrExport was unable to log into Flickr because of the following error: FlickrExport could not connect to the Flickr server. Please check your networking, DNS and any proxy servers."



I waited a while, figuring it was an intermittent problem. Then I tried restarting iPhoto, but it didn't help. Flickr is up. My username and password haven't changed. I haven't changed any settings on iPhoto that I am aware of. I thought this might be a temporary FlickrExport issue, but since it's been a couple of weeks and nobody else is posting about it, there must be another explanation, I guess.

Can you help? If I can't get this working soon, I'll have to figure out another way to get my photos up to Flickr.

I agree - 2 sounds pretty good to me, especially if you could configure the mode of communication. I would love a chat. Some people might like an email. Another option, have a segment in the dashboard for these questions of time-away-from-the-computer time accounting.

Great app, thanks!

Time logged while away from computer

When I was away from my computer, time was logged against an open application - Adium. I was in meetings for 3 hours, so 3 hours of time was logged as chat.
