If you wouldn't mind, we could also connect via email (you can just reply to my email) to test your Flickr account on my machine. Regarding the images rejected by CapitalOne: being a financial institution CapitalOne has to adhere to some guidelines of what constitutes an appropriate image for their credit cards. These include restrictions around trademarked/copyrighted materials, celebrities, cartoons, political or religious themes, and generally inapproriate stuff like violence or nudity. Users get prompted to agree to these guidelines on the page that you posted above (preview step). Hope this helps and thanks again for your interest!

I log into my account through capital one, I allow the access, but then nothing. None of my images pop up. In order to get my test shot above, I needed to upload directly from my desktop. I would love for that to work. Beyond that, some of my readers are saying that once they select an image, Capital One isn't accepting them. What's up with that? I think I digressed there, didn't I? So, maybe the lack of loading is due to my browser? Is that a possibility? Thanks for asking, this makes me really happy and even more enthusiastic about using the service. Hey Vadim,

I work for the company that supports the underlying tool and I am very interested in the specific details about the bugs you've noted above. Is there any way you could share them with me so that we could look into it and potentially address them as well? Thanks in advance!

Except for the part where the dozen or so designs I submitted to the Capital One card lab were all rejected with no explanation. :sad: Has anyone else had any luck with this thing? That’s great.
