You can share a link to a message posted in this Forum on your Facebook or Twitter account.

To do that, while viewing your posted message look at the top of the message and you will see a button called "ACTIONS". Click on the down arrow, move down to share, and to the right chose Facebook or Twitter. On the next screen type in a message about the post then click on the button that says "SHARE LINK". If your message has several photos, you can chose which one to display in your Shared Link.

There are two reasons that you may want to share your photos on the Social networks using this method.

First:
It is a good way to promote and bring visitors to our forum.

Second and more important:
On Facebook anybody can download your photos without your knowledge and use them for any purpose they want. In fact, Facebook encourages this theft of photographic images by having a "DOWNLOAD BUTTON" found in "OPTIONS" right under your photograph allowing anybody to download it to their computer hard disk.

If however you use this share feature, a link to this forum is posted on Facebook. When people click on that link they are taken to your message on this forum, and any such "guests" are prevented from downloading photos by the security code we have on this forum.
