In my last post I mentioned that we had a way to clear your Flickr or Picasa setting via the account settings but there was a better solution in the works. It would appear that I wasn’t paying attention! The better solution was actually part of the last release. When you’re using the Flickr or Picasa tabs in Picnik, look in the top left corner you’ll see a new “options” drop-down right under your name. Click on that and you’ll see a “Disconnect” option that will reset your Flickr or Picasa settings in Picnik. This has absolutlely no effect on your Flickr or Picasa accounts. The “Disconnect” function just instructs Picnik to forget about your Flickr or Picasa authentication information. You can reconnect by clicking on the big “Authorize” button.

You can use this feature to move between two different Flickr or Picasa accounts. There really isn’t a reason for 99.99% of our users to use the disconnect feature because your authentication information is securely stored away on the Picnik server. If you’re concerned that someone might access your various accounts via Picnik, be sure to click on the “Sign Out” button in the upper right hand corner when you’re done, especially if you’re on a public computer.
