Someone alerted me to this pic taken by me. "Nicky" has deleted my name on the pic on the LH side, replaced it with "hers" .. but strangely left my logo on the RH side. I have not yet checked to see how many other pics have been lifted in this way....yet Evil or Very Mad

Mods, please delete the pic and Nicky ... and ban the IP address that posted it
I will be back !

This is disturbing! I thought ONLY the true, original photographer/uploader could edit a loaded photo on this site (editing limited to photo captions or photo deletions). But, how could someone edit to ERASE a true photographer's name and substitute another? Admin needs to fix this and prevent recurrence.

I note that the image has now been deleted.

Bearcat is almost certainly correct, I doubt very much that anyone other than the Admin Team could change uploaded images in such a way.

Bearcat.
We would welcome your uploading the image if you so wish.
I can assure you that it will be safe in our hands!

Malcolm.
Admin.

p.s. Nicky may be a guy!

Sorry, guys, but it is dead easy to download an image and clone out a copyright banner, particularly on a plain floor like this photo. Grass is easy, too. Complex backgrounds are a bit more difficult, but not impossible. However, in this case, the original copyright was not even cloned out. If you enlarge the image 200%, you can see the top edge of Bearcat's copyright banner above the A-D banner.

Download blockers don't work either. One doesn't have to be a computer genius to find a work-around, not that I will publicise it here.

Unfortunately after having my pics stolen many times I have to put the watermark in the center of the picture. Yes it ruins the picture but it makes it much harder to clone out the watermark
