I have now heard of multiple people having their photo's "stolen" and being used on other websites, such as a fetish site and a dating site. Someone has made an excellent suggestion and I wanted to show the OH staff how important this topic is to everyone!Is it possible for OH to make it so your photo's can't be "saved" or "copied" by someone other than the owner? I have seen other websites where this was done. The website makes it so you are not allowed to right click on images, or copy them. If OH could make this possible for at least the photos in members' personal photo albums that would be very much appreciated!
If anyone out the likes or dislikes this idea, please post on this thread!
Thanks,
Mike
it would be a nice option, wouldn't it?
No, that's just to make people who are not computer savvy think the photos can't be copied. They sure can be copied, easily.
Photos are at risk on any site that you post them on, it isn't a problem that is exclusive to OH. I understand the frustration but if you willingly put it there, you are at risk.
If you post personal photos that you take, lots of programs can make it so that you can put a watermark on it, or somehow put your own "stamp" or name on the photo, this way it's more difficult for it to be used without the watermark or whatever text you put on it.
If you don't want people to use your photos, don't post them.
I'm not being disrespectful or snarky, just matter of fact. It's been this way at OH for a very, very long time.
Anything your post on the internet, whether it be words or photos is purely at your own risk.

-Maggie- A "STUCK" episode is kinda like the big "O". If you have to ask, you probably didn't have one.

I've found my photos selling diet pills, diet plans and worse.once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.
