barnbum do you have photoshop atleast 7? or painshop pro?
you can make your own watermark as simple as your name or nick. If you need help I can send you a link to a site that will walk you through making your watermark.
I have an embeded watermark that I can bring out if there is an issue with copywrite.
As for the rest I saw some of what happened but I dont know the whole story so I will reserve judgement. Admin did as he felt was nessary to preserve the board and I will support his decision. I am learning in real world there is alot going on behind the scenes that I dont know and I need to hold my tounge and judgement.
