I have finally located the issue I've been having with logging in to Flickr in Chrome recently and the solution is disabling Disconnect. I use my Yahoo name/password for Flickr but I was denied every time I attempted to sign in, even though I could sign into Yahoo without problem. Logging into Flickr with Safari worked so I knew my name & password were fine. After removing cookies and disabling a couple of extensions in Chrome I found that Disconnect was the problem. So far Flickr has been the only site that I have had difficulty signing in to so it's not a big deal. Apart from this minor inconvenience I'm a big fan of this extension. Thanks.

Hey Tom, I'm really sorry you went through so much trouble! I have had
this issue documented on the installation page
(https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jeoacafpbcihiomhlakheieifhpjdfeo),
but I know these issues are hard to spot (and correlate back to
Disconnect).

Disconnect's popup bubble will have a "Help" link soon, but I'm not
sure how much that'll, er, help. If you've got other suggestions,
please let me know!

P.S. You should be able to temporarily deactivate Yahoo blocking, log
into Flickr, and then reactivate Yahoo blocking and use Flickr as
normal.
