And that if you you have a lookfab blog you can decide whether you want Google to put it in the index.</p> <p>But if someone found their way here it would be possible for them to copy the picture and post it somewhere else.</p> <p>I think a good rule to use <u>everywhere</u> on the Internet (even places where people have to log in to see what you post) is to consider the possibility (even if it is a very small possibility)&nbsp;that what you post will be seen by others who you didn't expect or intend to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-posting-pictures-and-privacy#post-975669 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:21:58 +0000 Diana 975669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I asked Greg about this once, and he assured me that Google does not index our photos.&nbsp; (What this means is that it won't show up in google image search).&nbsp; This does not mean that nobody can see your photos - they just have to go to the actual forum page to do so.&nbsp; But at least then they are in context and it requires some effort to find it.&nbsp; I don't worry about it very much though.&nbsp; If you are worried, you can hide your photos after a while.&nbsp; </p> <p>My lookfab blog is members only, so that is also not searchable from the internet at large.&nbsp; I have it mostly as a record for myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-posting-pictures-and-privacy#post-975668 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:21:48 +0000 Peri 975668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I really apologize...this was supposed to be on the technical support board. I swear I was on that page when I hit start a conversation! </p> <p>Tech dummy strikes again. If it can be moved, go ahead and move it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-posting-pictures-and-privacy#post-975663 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:18:33 +0000 Peri 975663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read the "what does this look like to you" thread on the regular board, and Angie's response, which I really agree with with.</p> <p>But, it never occurred to me about pictures taken from someplace else and being reposted. It took a long time for me to get up the nerve to post pictures. Do I have to worry about someone copying a picture I post and putting it up somewhere else??</p> <p>I know the Internet is public, but I never thought about it being quite that public. I figured only YLF members and others who found their way here would see the pictures. Not that there is anything even slightly interesting in my pictures, but I still don't want to think about them showing up somewhere else besides here. </p>
