I feel like once I put it on the internet there is no taking it off, its "floating" around it the internet forever



This is how I feel... I know we have lurkers... Also just scared someone will save one of my pictures and do who knows what with them..

I have posted a few pics of my DS on here but then taken them down couple hours later.

I guess Im not that scared since I do post pics of him in my avatar.




I have posted pics of my DD and taken them down. I would love to share more, but I am to nervous. I wish there was a safer way to share pics so that not just anyone can see them. Maybe having to log on 1st, Does that make sense?Chat Icon

ETA: I answered my own question, I guess anyone could make up a name and log on. I guess I'll just be more cautious when posting pics. I love showing her offChat Icon

I have never posted pics of DD and I don't think I've ever posted pics of myself either. I just personally don't feel comfortable doing it...but I think it's fantastic for others to do it if they want, I certainly love seeing all the pics.

I have FM'd a few girls I'm friendly with some pics of DD. But that's it. Again, just my personal paranoia, nothing against those who post

Re: Any one feel "weird" about postign pics of DC??

it's the internet, you have to be careful with anything you do or say. Ron blocking this board will not alleviate any safety issues. Someone could still just sign up for LIF and then be able to view the site anyway and still lurk.

I know we have a big "family" type community here, but it's still the big bad internet, there are sickos all around us and IRL too. How do you know the guy/girl behind you at the checkout line isn't taking a pic of your DC while you shop or pay for your groceries. THis is the world we live in.

But if you want to share pics, I would just share them with a website like shutterfly, kodak, etc. then post the link, and ask no one to quote it, then take it down and delete the link. That way your pics aren't open to everyone. OR through shutterfly and other sites you can password protect your pics when you share them and then if people want to see them you can privately fm them the password to see it if you know them and want them to view your pics.

I personally don't post much about my girls or pics, but I am just cautious and know what's out there.

When you feel too safe you leave yourself vulnerable. That's just my opinion.

I've always posted pics of my children. And their names. I'm not overly concerned, but that said, in the past few months, I have not posted as many... I know for sure that I have old friends (who I don't really associate with anymore) who lurk to find out stuff about my DC's.... Whatever, I guess they'll feel they will miss out on something because we don't talk anymore. Nothing bad happened, we just drifted away over time because we all took different directions in life.

Is it possible ot post some pics on a post and then take them down???



yes, you can post pics and leave them up for a bit and then edit your post and remove them Chat Icon



This is what I have started doing. Something about being able to google and see myself and DC there freaks me out.

I don't feel weird. I mean, I'm not giving out my address and social security number.

I don't put a bag over his head, so he is already being viewed by hundreds of people a day.

It just doesn't bother me. But I can see how people would feel uncomfortable.

I don't mind posting pictures, but I am leary of posting pics with other people or identifying information in them...and I try to be careful about what specific info is out there (address, daycare, etc)

Re: Any one feel "weird" about postign pics of DC??

I don't feel weird about it. They are much more vulnerable at the store than they are on the web, IMO. There are cameras everywhere, and if you've ever left your house, there are pictures of you and DC somewhere.....

There is no "security" on the Internet. I guarantee that any kind of "security" that is put on the photos, I can find a way around it. All it does is make things more difficult for the people you really want to share with.

I feel the same as you.. When i was in the pregnancy chats i was all excitted to be able to post pics.. now that i can i dont lol.. Plus my DH asked me that I do not post any pics of DD on computer. He is afraid someone will do something to pic that isnt nice and afraid of people knowing too much info about her.



Ditto for us too. It's hard I have posted pictures of her but none that you can see her face directly. I want to share too but there are just too many sickos
