Getting Started Guide.

Add my Yahoo! flickr™ User Account(s) - and access private content from my account (and from my friends/contacts)? << Return to the Getting Started Menu.                                    Big Screen Photos 2 allows you to add and directly access private content from your own              Yahoo! Flickr account(s) (which may also include access to private content made available to              you via contacts, friends and familty).                    To simplify this process (and provide a way for our product to know what accounts you have granted              permission to - the 'Big Screen Photos v2 - User Consent Tool'  is provided. (as a Desktop Tool).              NB: Due to rules + requirements set out by the Yahoo! flickr  - designed to protect your identity and              sensitive details (such as your password - which is not submitted, or stored by Big Screen Photos 2) -              this tool involves you logging into your account via your choice of Internet Browser - and confirming              that you will allow Big Screen Photos v2 permission to access your account.               ** Also Please Note ** : If using an legacy ('old skool') flickr account (one created prior to flickr being             acquired by Yahoo!) - which have their own username/password which is not linked with a Yahoo! profile -             then some specific functionality may be partially disabled. (such as access to some of your photos or             contacts that are marked as 'private').             This is a known issue/limitation of the Yahoo! flickr API - however             you can use their online tool to rectify this situation - by going to http://flickr.com/account/associate             (which will allow you to migrate your old account to be linked with a Yahoo! profile).                             a.  To Get Started - click your Windows Start Menu - and navigate to the                    All Programs | Big Screen | Photos 2  program folder and click the 'User Consent Tool' Icon                    (as pictured below).                                                      b.  If UAC (User Access Control) is enabled on your machine - you will be prompted with the following (see below)                   - which will confirm that you 'trust' this program. You will need to 'trust' this program and click 'Allow' to                   continue (which will ensure the User Consent Tool can read and write to the necessary Big Screen Photos 2                   data files (which are then read in by the addin).                  If UAC is disabled on your machine - you will not see this message (and the program will launch immediately).                                          b.  Once the 'User Consent Tool' is loaded - you have the ability to Add (and Remove) Yahoo! flickr accounts                    from your Big Screen Photos 2 configuration (see below).                    NB: this does not alter your online account status in any way.                   As you add and remove accounts to you local configuration - they will appear in this list below (and also be made                   available via the Big Screen Photos 2 addin within Windows Media Center).                                   c.  To add a new Account - click the 'Add flickr Account' button located at the bottom of the screen.
