I'm unfamiliar with OpenPhoto but i hope I can provide some insight as a "newbie" - esp. to navigation and interface issues.

I activated my account months ago but for some reason didn't follow through. So I went back to jywarren.openphoto.me and was prompted to log in. I hadn't received a confirmation email, so I just registered with the BrowserId system, and am now logged in. But I see:

"Sorry, no photos. Login to upload some."

What seems likely is that my logged-in account is not actually the owner of the instance. I propose:

* a notice that you are not the owner (this may only be an issue if there are no photos), perhaps displaying at the time of login?
* a confirmation email and/or a place to retrieve owner credentials if you've forgotten or can't find them

What can I do now to log in or begin uploading photos?
