This is a warning to everyone.

We created a Flickr account to store pictures of the Canary and Cape Verde Islands and some of our developments, to use on this blog site. Having got to a point where we were storing more than the Free account allowed we paid the upgrade fee for 2 years and then merrily uploaded more pictures. Two days after uploading all the images our Flickr account vanished without warning. Even though on Flickr they state that any time they review the account and there is anything that is being done against their T & C’s they will advise you, they gave us no warning at all.

I have now tried to contact them 4 times, every time I get a reply stating:- “Flickr account “horizonnews” was deleted by Flickr staff for violating our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines”.

As you can see this is no help at all, I have asked them to let us know how and every reply I get, when I get one is the same as the above.

So this means that ALL the images we had stored on Flickr have been lost as there is now no way of getting them back.
