Could not of said it better Tartan.

I agree completely; I would take it as a compliment too.

I do Pinterest and one time, I posted a picture of a Robin. Was sent a not it was copyrighted and they wanted $50 for posting it. I took it down, and never heard another word.

Replying is the ONLY thing they can't do without being logged in. They can read everything, and they can copy/download pictures. I agree with Cindi - this is one of the reasons I very rarely post any pictures. I'm not allowed to put a copyright on my own photos, and the QB does not disable copying or downloading of pictures.

If this is true how private or rather are our PM 's also public knowledge?

That is a great question. I am sure more people can read them other than those we PM it to.

If you put it on the internet, I think it would be silly to be mad if someone pinned it. The internet is public.

Personally, I would be shocked, but pleased to see something of mine pinned. Unless it was pinned on a page titled "Ugly Quilts". That might bug me a bit.

I also don't mind people pinning as long as I get credit for the photo. I just had a thread deleted from here last night because I had watermarked my photos. Didn't know we couldn't do that. I won't post any photos here any longer either....

No, PM's (private messages) are private. Only you can look at your quilting board mailbox.

When I was on face book, not anymore, Lots of my postings on here were listed on there. Whatever I post on here I would say anyway. Believe me I never say everything I would like to say. I only do that when posting on pictures, only good things.
