    Hello Members.

    Just an update for all members concerned about GPS cords being 'stolen' from images being shared on CFF.

    From here on forward ALL GPS Exif Data will be automatically be removed in the procces of uploading your image on CFF.

    You will see a "security notice" on your screen notifying you of that.

    This did cost me a pretty penny... But I believe it's all worhwhile if it means the members will feel safe sharing pictures and info on CFF.

    Enjoy! :)

    Ernie

    As an fyi... for those who use photobucket, if you go to the security screen, you can remove that signature off every photo in your album, and set it as default to delete it off every subsequent image uploaded.

    That data is really an invasion of privacy... Good on you for shutting it down.
