Not JUST a Virtual Club

Andy Millar
Just to say that since the new forums started with photos (if we want) and real names I for one have found this club has gone beyond the virtual - and all the better for it. I've just had my third IET event this year where at least one person has come up to me and said "Hello, you're Andy aren't you? We've never met in real life" - particularly impressive this time as it was someone (hello Garethsmiley) who lives 3,000 miles away from me! I cannot recommend this highly enough as a way of meeting other engineers. 


Of course, I quite understand that some or many members won't want their photos up for all sorts of reasons, but even then it's still possible to spot names on conference / seminar lists. Definitely another really good reason to join in to these discussions. yes


Cheers,


Andy

    So there is - I never knew that was there (I'd vaguely wondered but never looked). Interestingly I see that my profile photo doesn't have a name!


    So when we upload a photo (say into a discussion thread) it goes into a gallery which then anyone else can search and download and use at will? I suppose I should have guessed that. (Jack, I just downloaded yours to try this as I didn't think you'd mind - I have plenty of other photos of you on my PC already!)


    Who owns the copyright in an uploaded photo? I can't (at a very quick look) see anything about this? Suppose I wanted to use this photo in a PowerPoint https://communities.theiet.org/photos/31503?group_id=&folder_id=&offset=28&total=12527&filter=&order=mostrecent could I just use it? (Personally I wouldn't, I'd contact Kim as the poster and ask for permission, but that's me being me.)


    Sorry for opening a can of worms - to be fair I think Jack found the can opener...


    Cheers,


    Andy
