Clearly not. It is worth noting that Mark is one of "the powers-that-be".

He has in the past received complaints from copyright holders about some groups using copyright images without permission and his action is (IIRC) swift and decisive.

Re: Cover photo choice?

 

Sorry to say that Pixabay is also not necessarily safe.? I have heard artists say that they found their images shared there unlawfully by others.

I guess a first step must be to look at the uploads by member x and check if the images are similar (= reasonable to think they are done by the same person) or is there such a variety of subjects and styles that it could be simply uploads from different sources from member x (replace x with the name of the member).
And get in touch with member x and ask if it is his/her own original photo, painting etc.

Making changes to an image with a graphics program like Photoshop, PSP, Gimp etc does not transfer the ? to you.

And while e.g. does allow some uses of the images, it explicitly rules out using any image on social media, even a no-no if you give proper credit.

The authors of pictures have numerous rights under copyright law; at least under German law the author alone determines whether and how his pictures may be used. If he discovers one of his fotos on a site other than his own, he can sue for compensation. This can cost thousands of dollars.

For my publications I use pixabay. There are millions of pictures for free, but you mus register there. So you are on the safe side.

Hi, Victoria ¨C

?

Good to know. Most of my experience comes in the vintage movie field, and in many of those cases the studios that created the images are long gone and the photographers who created portraits in the 1920¡¯s and 1930¡¯s are also long gone. The result, naturally enough, is that there is (or was) a thriving trade in selling duplicates of films and copies of stills, with no royalties paid to anyone. (I have never been in the business, but I know a lot of people who have.) So it is a fairly new thing for me to have to worry about a photographer just waiting in the wings to pounce! ?

?

This is a case, I think, of ¡°better safe than sorry¡± and ¡°a word to the wise,¡± to recycle a couple of appropriate clich¨¦s. ?

?

Thanks again!

It sounds to me like you're doing something wrong.? When did you send the invitation and when was it accepted?

Thanks for posting these, Steph!

And btw, if it is not too much trouble, could you send the other sites that you¡¯ve got for free images? Feel free to send them to me off-list if you feel it would be clogging up this list.

No, that's incorrect.? Unless it specifically says free to use or public domain, you shouldn't use it.

That depends on how long the wait list is.? Based on comments, I'd say at least a week right now.

The picture should be as you want it to appear.? The only editing done is to scale it to fit.? Nothing is overlaid on it, all that is below.

i get a "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." I am very aware of the pile that the system must be dealing with, but how long is reasonable to wait?

Thanks

Re: NEW transfer status information

 

I wish he included a queue counter on each step. I waited 3 years to transfer my group, I know my fault, but have been in step 1 of 4 I believe over 24 hours. Not sure if that is going to take 2 weeks or maybe even never because of people paying the additional $200 to cut the line.

I guess in case we never come out of the queue we'll try to download everything to PG Offline. But Yahoo is being Yahoo, spotty service up the wazoo. Which I'm sure is affecting Mark's ability to capture all the data. Sigh...

Does Yahoo realize how much it's tarnished its brand with this act?

Re: [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group

 

When viewing the member list, click the JOINED heading. That will sort the list by date joined. Transfer should be at the top.

Re: Search function

 

You can copy them to a Word file, then save as a pdf.
If you have an Adobe subscription so you can edit in Adobbe you can paste directly into a pdf file and save it.? Some other soft software and apps will also allow ccopying and pasting into a file to save as a pdf.

Cross posted due to apparent annoyance of critical readers of beta...

For reasons of diverging topic, I split a thread but the photos in line were left out, at least their 'code' remains but no pic. IS this usual as I can't find any previous note about this??

Obviously not an ideal situation, which limits the usefulness of the split/ merge functionality,

Home Page Photo Query

 

Hello.

I am unable to find the original file of my group's picture in my computer to send you, so will probably have to copy the one being used on Yahoo. No problem - I can do this with good quality.

This has my group name on it, and the second line shows
the number of members (which can vary from day to day).

Should I photoshop out the text before forwarding it to Groups.io, and does Groups.io add the name of my group and members count to the new picture?

I think yahoo added this wording, but I can't remember..

My Thanks.
