Chris, if you enter your OpenID, there’s a ‘Forgot Your Password’ on the OpenID confirmation page when you have to type your password.

It stinks that they had to delay the 2.0 launch by a few days because of the DOS attack and spending time ‘making improvements in performance,’ but I wouldn’t have minded if they had spent more time or reliability as well before trying to rush it out.

Yeah I can’t log in or find a “forgot your password” feature

Zoomr 2.0 with user ID difficulties User ID: Markus Merz a) photo is gone = not viewable in my account (static link works) b) pro status is gone c) Two numerical user ids for one name http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/11835@Z01 (old) http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/13469@Z01 (new) d) Going to proitizer results in â€œUh-Oh! The blog url that you gave us belongs to another member on Zooomr!â€

Let's hope that these issues are taken care of fast.

Different activation now!

Update: 594 comments received and then closed.

To become a Zoomr Pro you must log in at Zoomr and go to http://beta.zooomr.com/login?cf=proitizer. You get a “Blogger Pro Account Sign Up Form” which asks for your blog post URL where you posted your Zoomr picture. Then you have to push the magic button “Activate my PRO account now!”.

In my case the lucky answer is “Good news, you’re already a Pro!”

Thanks TDavid, that serves me right reading more than one blog post at a time while writing!

That’s a great offer. I registered, uploaded and used a picture as described in the blog entry. Then I commented and of course left a manual trackback to this article

Bad: No IPTC metadata import which means you have to write down all picture information again.

They contend that it’s a supplement of sorts to Flickr not a direct competitor. Also, it kind of illustrates how much harder it is to do a competing service than start something new/original/unique.

And BTW, Chris, I believe you mean Thomas Hawk, not Thomas Power.
