Hi Martijn, thanks for you bug report. I've tried to make this work, but I'm afraid it's not possible given our constraints: those buttons want to open new browser windows, but:

- if we open them in the default browser, then Yahoo signals an error (most likely because some needed cookies are missing);
- if we open them substituting the current window, things stop working right after the authentication with Facebook or Google: yahoo asks for a creation of a new account anyway ("In order to join Flickr, you need to sign in with your Yahoo! ID. If you have a Yahoo! email address, you already have a Yahoo! ID."); again, this is probably due to the change in the navigation flow.

I'm afraid that, unless we manage to find some other solution, we'll have to use the mobile version of the Flickr authentication, which doesn't show these buttons at all. :-(
