How does on read the EXIF on others photos posted on the forum?

I think being able to do this is a great way to learn (cheat)

If the photo has been uploaded to this site the exif is not available, this is a shame..

If the photo is embedded/linked to Photobucket for instance and the exif has not been stripped it is readable with programs such as Kuso.

Cheers, Don

If they resized to 1000 pixels AND if their processing software did not strip the exif, then you can see the data here. I have a Firefox plugin called FxIF. I think there are other plugins too. I right click and I can choose to see the exif. I'm not sure if there is one for IE or Chrome. Also in windows, you can drag a picture from the forum to your desktop, right click it and select properties. This can sometimes work on photos that have right clicking disabled.

If you can get past the right click ban on images here -- supposedly on NO edit only, but actually randomly applied, so it's hit or miss.

The disable right click is a separate setting under 'general settings'. The yes/no is simply an indicator of your preference. If I understand correctly, it does nothing other than indicate your desire. To actually disable right click you have to say yes to 'Disable download of your photos' settings. I can still drag disabled photos to my desktop though.

Well, I have had various conflicting explanations of the right click ban. I do not have anything disabled, but some of my images give the pop-up and some do not. Don't much care because, as you say, it does nothing to prevent dragging to the desktop, if you want to fiddle privately.

Now I am remembering.... there was some talk of quirkiness in the group threads with that setting getting applied to other people in the thread that did not have it set. It is just a nuisance to rt click and have the warning come up.

What ever browser you use then look for a plugin that will allow you to view the Exif info.

The pictures I upload here have the Exif. I also use a site called Jeffery's Exif viewer, you can search up the link.

How to beat the right-click ban:

  1. Right-click on the image and click OK when it tells you not to do that.
  2. Right-click on the image again, click in the box that says not to display this message again and then click OK
  3. Right-click on the image a third time and have at it.

As was said, if you're uploading an image to the site it's courtesy to resize too 1000px on the long side so it doesn't strip EXIF (my biggest beef here). The other alternative is to link in your image from another site provided that site doesn't strip your EXIF (I use Flickr when I want to link something bigger than 1000px, but you need to link the "Original" image since Flickr does not retain EXIF on the other sizes).
