• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Forum upload software strips metadata/EXIF data?

I was trying to look at the EXIF data on some images earlier today, and it seems that any image that's been uploaded into a thread with the "upload" feature strips all metadata from the image. Opening any of these photos in lightroom, it literally only tells me the name of the image, location (on my computer) and the size of the image.

Is there some way to prevent this from happening, either on an individual basis or forum-wide?

I doubt it would be worthwhile (to me, anyway) to pay my programmer to do this...

It's possible no metadata information was being shared with the images.

I checked a bunch of random images from various locations on the site, with a couple of different EXIF viewers -- including some of your uploaded images. It *seems* to be universal, as I couldn't find any photos at all that had any data attached. (Images inserted into threads with HTML, though, mostly have their EXIF data attached.
