"I was just over there checking on things when I got the email that you had responded to the forum, I couldn't find any images listed for gdmora at all!!!  I don't know if he pulled them off or if the site pulled them. Mean while I found some more images that belonged to someone else and I wrote them about it, I also checked to see if their images were still listed and those images are gone too! From time to time this may happen again, that is why I keep a copy of my comments that I post (like what I used today) and a copy that I send to site admins. filed in my documents folder, so when I need them all I have to do is copy & paste them and it does save a lot of rewriting time."

This is the first time my image (maybe more than one - who knows?) has been stolen as far as  I know - only been posting for a couple of months and it hadn't even occurred to me that someone might lift one of my images and upload it elsewhere!!  I'll know better in future and keep copies of anything like that I make replies to - thanks for the hints!! Hope it doesn't happen too often, tho' (but then, don't think most of my art would be worth stealing anyway, lol!!)

"You're right, it seems that all images posted by gdmora and fidato50 have disappeared from the site....

Maybe a small 'hooray' here..?? ;o))"

Yippee - looks like we did it - definitely warrants a small 'hooray' I'd say!!

"It is good to see our members there and leaving comments (vlaaitje). This seems to be an effective way to get the word out. I would suggest including a Spanish translation in addition to the English one.

I posted a variation of the cease and desist letter and suddenly cannot navigate around the site anymore. Do you think that maybe I've lost my treasured membership to XWall???

I think you may be right there, about your XWall membership, lol!!  What a tragic loss :)
