Thank you.

If you click on the image you want to delete to open it up, click on 'image tools' to the top right corner of the pic and click on 'report image' then just detail that you want it deleted and a moderator will sort it....
Hope this helps!

Thanks for that.

Does seem odd though would have thought the photographer should be able delete their own.

Where would it stop?

We're trying to avoid deleting images in the Gallery because once they're gone any links to them (in the forum etc) are broken. Also, it takes a lot of time and effort for the Gallery editors to edit and present the Gallery and it's pretty much a waste of their time if the pics are soon deleted again, not to mention the time spent by other members commenting on the images.

It also causes dead links on Google searches which hurts our rating.

My main concern is image theft and when the minimum size that you can post on here is 600x800 pixels.that is just a bit to big for me to feel comfortable.and not to have any control.

an image measuring 600x800 uploaded at 72dpi wont be useful for any other application than web display anyway, and of course images of anysize can be ripped off for web display.

however if it bothers you you could apply a discrete water mark as many of our members do (OY) being a good example.

and of course at the end of the day there is an aspect over which you have total control - if you feel unduly bothered by the potential for image theft it is not compulsory for you to upload your pictures in the first place

That's a great shame Northscape and a great loss for WAB. You've uploaded some beautiful images and I've seen more of your excellent work on your website. However, as you are a professional photographer I can certainly understand your concern. Is the water mark suggestion really not an option?
