I was also locked out of my Yahoo / Flickr account last year (all I use my Yahoo account for is Flickr, so I consider them one and the same). After 10 years of Flickr Pro subscription without a hitch. Agreed, their support is terrible, and they don't seem to distinguish between free or paying users (and in terms of account access issues, at least, there isn't any dedicated Flickr support, just horrible Yahoo support). I had access to the email address registered with my account, so at least that wasn't a drama. But still, took about 3 months of assertively-worded support emails before they got me back in and I could upload Flickr photos again. I think Flickr is a great service, and I've been faithful to it for many years. But that episode jaded my opinion significantly. And with Yahoo now going under, I'm not expecting much re: the future of Flickr. I'm considering moving my primary online photo storage to S3, Github Pages, or some other alternative.
