Hi ,

First of all I can not resist complementing BYC for it's very large effords to make this forum a place for every chickenowner , or those who are simply interested in it or are planning it . A lot of people have already said " but it is so easy to keep chickens ! " , well I agree but also do I not agree for the following reason(s) : first of all , we are all individuals like our chickens , some are better in seeing what could be the state of their chickens , some just lack that eye to see if there is something wrong , and yes despite many effords some are just not even capable of caring for a hamster and there is no one to blame for it ofcourse . For that reason I can not say other than the fact that BYC has become a place of importance for every owner of chickens , wether it is just for a hobby , as a dearest pet , a farm , no matter what the goals are in keeping chickens , BYC managed to help you out , ofcourse not without its numerous members that are always in for a reply to questions of concern or just curiosity aka learning about , with respect . Not once did I see any disrespect on this forum and that involves both the members as it involves BYC , because without good management it could have been less mature and chaotic . That is why I find that this forum distinguishes itself from many other out there , but ok this is of topic , so shall I go on topic ? ;-)

My question here is this : I do have an album online with photographs of run , coop , the construction of it , the chickens , my gone but not forgotten chickens etcetera BUT each time I did an upload from such album to a forum it also gives away my full name ( as it is on my online album ) and I just do not like that fact due the dangers of internet because usually my child , a girl is a lot on those pictures too , which is fine by me to be shown on some pictures but I just wonder that if a picture from any online album is shared , will it also give away any other information ? for example when anyone clicks on my uploaded picture , is it possible that anyone gets acces to the entire album or the name of the album and picture or is this NOT the case ? I realize that this question may sound as if I am " worldstrange " but to be fair I do not often put photographs online anymore since I have quit my old job due privacy reasons as the word says itself ... I do not often use the internet and certainly NOT regarding pictures so I am sorry if this question sounds like " do you not know anything at all about internet ?? " but I really do not know how much is actually possible to see if I upload a pic out of an album that has other content in it too so can you please explain this a little bit to me as it is often just a must to upload a photograph or just fun to show atleast how your coop looks like , and your fluffy buts but I do not wanna be worrying about " omg what if they click on the photo and find my album and see all the other stuff " , hoping this makes a bit sense and to get some more information , I do thank you in advance ...
 
@Nifty-Chicken would be the one to answer this.

I'm not sure how the new BYC is working, yet, as I just noticed my album photos have been transferred over from the old site, however, I'm pretty sure how you upload your photos is up to you. You don't have to name your album anything that is personal. You rename files as you upload to my knowledge, so no file name should remain the same if you don't want it too.

Even if your original names did transfer, those file names should be on server side within your account, but you can choose what you want to call them for the public. Any file transfer allows a renaming process as you transfer it to another location.

My thoughts...again Nifty Chicken could answer best.

Thank you for the nice comments! BYC is the most wonderful place because of the amazing members and incredible moderators!

each time I did an upload from such album to a forum it also gives away my full name

Hmm... I'm not 100% sure I understand. Can you link me to some examples where your name is shown? I'm not seeing any examples of where I can see your full name.
 
Are you saying you upload your pictures to a different website first then link said picture to this website?
 
Sorry for butting in, but this is a question that relates, I think. Where do the photos on here actually go? When the new forum came online, I linked some photos and they ended up in a "gallery". Then I figured out how to attach a photo to posts, When I go to upload a new photo, the other photos I've linked to threads all appear, but those photos aren't in my gallery when I look at that. Where are those photos?

Hello there ! No that was actually on another forum that I have once posted a photograph Id had in an album like picasa or whatever the name was so in other words then :) : the pics I wanted to share on that forum were already on the internet but not visable to others because you could just click on your privacysettings there wether you wanted your photoalbum to be public or not , so I clicked that it would NOT be public so anyone googling my name can NOT find the album itself , only the pics if u wanted them to be visable on a forum suddenly were ALL visable due to the link of that album (yet ONLY THAT album ! ) once it was uploaded so before I even knew people were not just looking at the picture I uploaded but also at ( for example ) pics that we (my family ) made of our private life because when ( I tested it because I noticed a huge increase of views ) I logged in to the particular forum and clicked my picture I had shared , oddly enough when you had clicked that ONE pic you could just go to ALL my info (?!) , they suddenly knew my full name because in the link of the picture itself you could see , example : http://pic2my-pet-chickens-MissesJohnsenalbumpicasa.web or something similar giving away my entire name thanks to just 1 stupid photograph I liked to share , so I hope that this information is a bit clear now ? ( forgive me the English , I try my very best really ) .
So having that information explained ( no my name is not misses Johnsen or what so ever LOL ) my question was in fact this : will that happen again or is there a better way of sharing pics on this forum ? I honestly just do not know the slightest about that because I do not even use Facebook and other stuf like that anymore :D and sometimes it is just a necissarity to share a picture when you doubt the sex of a chick , when one has some injuries or odd looking things or just any other things of relevance to this forum actually , I want to put some pictures here but I havent done it once yet due to fear of what happened on another forum and due the fact this forum is awesome but the internet is just a dangerous place too , especially concern about my child to b fair with you ( I do share some pics with her but NOT in case she is wearing a bikini etc if you know what I mean by all this ? ) , just trying to figure out how it works on privacy in case you use pics from albums via links used :) , think this is more comprehensive ? ( I hope so :D )

Kind regards and yup BYC rocks ;-) !!
 
in case you use pics from albums via links
Your issues with linking to other sites can be avoided if you just upload your picture here. That certainly won't link into any content elsewhere. Whether people can access an album of photos on another site if you link to one photo in that album will depend on the settings on the photo site, not on this site's settings.

mh no that was totally not the question here , I probably haven't explained it good enough in the English language , it is about using links and the information that links have given away once on another forum , when you clicked that picture you could suddenly see my full name IN THE LINK so people knew my ID which I can not afford myself to happen .
I was just asking that the same would happen or not if posted from using that link on THIS forum , some forums have a system that your information about the picture is hidden from anyone clicking it and some do NOT , so that is in fact where it is all about .
Kinda know NOTHING about internet in general if it comes to such things :) ...

Aha ok , that is what I needed to know because some forums do show all the info and some do not , so BYC is safe in that way I take note from on your reply :) . ( it is a bit handier for me to use that link as my pics are not on my pc , they are on external harddisks and my boyfriend and daughter always have to help me out with that thing because I never find what I needed ... otherwise I just clicked the button here ' upload a file ' but you need to have your pictures ofcourse so that link is for me the best solution or it takes again so long before I can post anything at all ... ( I know this sounds like a granny but no worries I learn fast lol ) , thx 4 the reply ! have a good day
 
Are you saying you upload your pictures to a different website first then link said picture to this website?
yes , that is a website to share your pics BUT you can just adjust all pics individually to be hidden or public and it is the best way for me to work with as all our things have to go on external harddisks ( advice from the man with the pants here ! ) instead of keeping things saved on the computer itself and it is REALLY not up to me to use that disk as I never find what I look for , my child has to help me out with it and you get that glare on her face like " mom do you know ANYthing about a computer , you are old " ahum so that is actually why I do it true those links :D *redface*
