Ficus in The cold north ( Denmark)

Dear Kimo, I laud your defence of Yvonne - she is blessed to have a good friend like you. However, on this occasion she, and you, are quite simply wrong.

Please think a bit longer about that policy. It is clear to us that it refers to the initial posting of an image and the need to ensure that we do not post "stolen" images on this site.

However, once an image is on IBC it is then able to be used by other members within the confines of the forum. In other words it is perfectly okay to repost an image via the Quote button to give praise as many do, or to provide an example of something that has come up in the discussion as happened in the case that caused the problem.

If this were not the case then essentially every time anyone used the QUOTE function and reposted someone else's image. This is quite clearly NOT what is intended. Indeed, if you take almost any thread on this forum you will find instances of people having reposted others' images by using the quote function. What you suggest would mean that every time a member Quoted, they would have to PM the original poster to ask their permission to do so. This is quite simply not what the AUP sets out to do. If it helps set your mind at rest then we will reword the AUP accordingly.

Regarding Yvonne, I note that in another thread she says that she is taking a break. I too believe Yvonne contributed enormously to the forum and I hope she will return some time.

Hi Fiona,

Thx for this clarification. i think that a sideline in the term reflecting what you just wrote, would reduce the possibility of misunderstandings in the future.

Fiona, thanks for that explanation of the forum term in question.

This is a good idea since many of the members here don't have English as there first language.

My thoughts exactly.. hopefully she will be back soon.

Kimo, being her FB friend and all, please, make sure she know she is missed already.

Yes, please!

Pls don't make such a big thing about this. She's done this before and I'd bet she'll be back.

Mr Lewis,

It is not just about Yvonne. It is more on clarifying the Rules of the forum, so that future misunderstandings might be avoided.

Kimo

Yvonne has emailed me and I have sent her a nice response. Let's just give her a bit of space to breathe for a while.

mmm the news arrived to me today at Yvonne has left IBC,  I still think it would be common sense to ask the person that posted the photo if one can use it in a other topic.

Jim I think you have it wrong here, Yvonne has never left the IBC before.
Your also wrong if you think she will be back, I know her very well.

kind regards
Peter

I'm still here.....hihihihih hihi hihii
