beaners Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think you did something I don't know how to do--can you somehow tell google to find a match for an image? I just searcher for "joan of arc praying" or something similar on the image search, but if you can get google to match for you that would be fun to play around with. Yep. :) https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/1325808?hl=en 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I haven't ever attached anything but I scanned thru and found a few celeb pics to report. Hopefully this is resolved quickly, but let us know if there is anything else we can do to help. Sorry this is happening! And as always, thanks for keeping this site running.

Susan Wise Bauer Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I am sorry, Susan. I have been a prolific image poster. Am working on deleting.... Also, I have the same question that has been posted -- some things are showing up when I search for my posts, but then when I click the link, a message says the thread cannot be found. So are the images still there or not? (I can see them in my search window.) I think there's a delay between deleting the thread and the actual photo being cleaned out of the archive. If the thread can't be found, we're safe. I'll run this by OtherJohn to check on the photo issue. SWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 So does Negin have to delete all the images of her birthday cakes on the birthday threads? This is my question also.

JoJosMom Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well, here's a news flash: I don't want to be doing this either. I hate it. Nor is it at all fair that I'm having to deal with a current situation which is frightening, potentially very expensive, and not at all my fault. And it is ridiculous that I'm being threatened. Guess what? I am. And the posters on this board won't be paying for it. I will. So I respectfully disagree. And I am extremely grateful to those of you who have taken the time, however "ridiculous" and "unfair," to report and help out. SWB There is no "like" button for your posts, but that would be inadequate anyway. :001_wub: :001_wub: :001_wub: :001_wub: :001_wub: And the tip jar/donation is a great idea. There is one blog that I read regularly and I happily make a small monthly donation. I don't post a huge amount here, but I truly cannot imagine homeschooling without this resource. I would gratefully donate on a monthly basis to keep this site available. Gratias tibi ago, SWB!!! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Crown Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The painting is under coprright, but the photograph of the painting probably is. ...this is what grounded my poetry anthology - I made an anthology of poems to memorize and paired each poem with a work of art. To publish that, I'd need to pay the rights holders for each image unless I had taken them myself. Doesn't Bridgeman v Corel say copyright doesn't apply?

Miss Marple Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Is there a way to put a sticky that tells us exactly how to search our threads for photos? IOW, surely there is a quicker way to do that than just clicking on every post we've ever made. And the other question is how far back do we go? Is this just the new board (the current one)? Do we need to Google other posts we've made on the old forums? I'm sure these have been answered, but since I don't have time right now to wade through 7 pages of responses, perhaps a sticky with instructions would be helpful.

PeachyDoodle Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The site where I got my avatar specifically says they are allowed for use on message boards, so I think I'm okay, right? I posted the site on my profile. Also, it's not something I downloaded and re-uploaded; it's linked. I don't believe I've ever posted any photos -- certainly none of celebrities.

gaillardia Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 This thread: Mom in High Heels favorite pictures of Johnny Depp and several of us changing our avatars to pix of him to celebrate his birthday. That was a steamy thread. I think it is deleted. I found one photo I had copied/pasted from a university website of a moth. I deleted it. My background photo and my avatar are my photos. I went through more than 38 pages of my posts which was fun, and then also looked this morning at my attachments, that was empty. If you think it is too hard for you to go through your own posts then maybe you won't mind if yours are deleted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idnib Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If your new icon is too large (greater than 50k), try picture resizing here; you can set the max image size. Choose a small pixel size as well, such as 120 pixels across. If you keep a large-sized image and make the file size small, it will look pixelated.

Violet Crown Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I don't see a problem in reporting that. It's sad, but necessary. Not exactly equivalent to someone reporting a poster because they don't return their shopping cart. ;) Okay; I've been reporting members with avatars that are clearly, obviously licensed characters from people and corporations that are serious about copyright infringement (Disney, Marvel, Pixar, etc.).

jenn- Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 After skimming 40 pages of my posts using the method I posted earlier, I didn't think I'd found all of my pics. Sure enough, I found a much better method, which helped me to find more pics in way, way less time. Here is how I did it: Click on the tool symbol - the gear picture to the right of the magnifying glass at the top right of every page. That gets you to the "Advanced Search" page. Now fill in a few blanks (skip the ones not mentioned below): In the "Find Words" box, put .jpg (Or, presumably, any other picture file extension, like .gif) Be sure to include the period in .jpg or .gif, as you need at least four characters. Under "Search in Section", click on "Forums". Under "Find author" type your username - in my case it would be justasque. Under "Display Results" click "As a topic list" (This will give you just the relevant posts, instead of the whole threads.) Then hit "Search Now". This should give you all of your posts with .jpg pictures in them. You can then page through your posts and skim them to see if the pictures need to go due to copyright issues or if they can stay because they are your own pics. To edit a post (as there is no edit button in this view), click on the post number, which will show that post in context and with an edit button. (In Chrome you can right-click, which will open a new tab, so you can work in the new tab then close it and continue reviewing your posts in the original tab.) (I haven't read this whole thread, so I don't know if anyone else has already suggested this method, or indeed a better one. SWB - talk to your tech folks - chances are this method could be modified or automated or something to search all usernames for .jpg pictures. It wouldn't let you know which ones are legit and which aren't, but so long as you're up on your celebs, it may help find them....) This worked really well for me. Just wanted to bump it up to the current end of the thread in case it got missed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
