Has the option to view photos been removed. Where i usually go to photos is now my notes. Same when i go to someone elses profile?
The admins took them all down following concerns about metadata and locations being visible. ToT posted something yesterday
Thank you
Juicy,
The Media option on profiles is hidden, temporarily.
The photos are still there, not deleted.
Will be restored to normal once a fix is in place for the metadata issue, detailed below.
Same for pictures sent as attachments to private messages, temporarily disabled.
Metadata issue:
Settings on your phone/camera can add some location info into an image when you take the pic.
You can turn this setting on/off on your device.
It is users own responsibility to ensure they are not accidentally uploading pics to ABFheaven with this information included.
However we are looking into ways to automatically remove this location info if the user has not already done so.
Until then, all picture sharing functions are off.
Thanks Michael
@tuehlykv Michael, if it’s possible for you to do so, may I suggest that you mark this post as a “sticky” and pin it to the top position on the Recent Forum Posts listing on the Home page. Or, perhaps you could create a “sticky” banner across all pages of the site with the info about this, until you’ve resolved the issue. Lots of people are going to miss this important notification once it falls down the posting column behind newer posts.
I think the fix is happening very soon… and the topic that started the whole thing just hasn’t been replied to in 2 says or so….
there are a few topics already and has been in chat many times…
also, the ask to put a banner would take time that he doesn’t have!
