Photobucket Question

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I was checking my photobucket stats and noticed that some of my photos have been viewed on other sites than “trains.com” I have only ever posted to this forum so was wondering what sites they could be?

Are people able to copy the forum photos to post them elsewhere? I don’t really care who looks at them or if they are posted elsewhere but I am curious. Is it possible to do a search for your own photos to see where they might turn up?

Also I have only about 500+ post and have not posted that many photos but photobucket says I have had 6500 views from the forum. I find this hard to believe. Thanks for your input.

It could be that someone linked to a thread that you posted in from another forum.

If anyone looks at a Photobucket picture, the image code is below the picture. If they copy that code and insert it in a forum, it will be viewed. They should give you credit for the use of the picture.

The pictures can be sold by Photobucket also. That is why it is free of charge.
