Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I thought this might be fun (If people are ok with it)

    I always browse Pix.ie, flickr, tumbler stumble upon etc for photos and am always blown away. I thought it would be nice to show them off and to give the Togs a bit of attention.

    Here's one I found on Pix that I just love :)


    Artist: Cufa

    Post whatever ones inspire you, and credit the artist :)

    could you not be opening a minefield of copyright issues here ?

    its possibly that the original artists/photographers may not want their image put up on boards which would mean anyone posting an image that they do not own or have permission to post would be breaching copyright.

    EDIT: I'm sure most people would be thrilled to see themselves get extra exposure - but even if one of them takes exception the poster (not boards) could be in trouble.

    Sorry to be the voice of reason ...boo hiss etc etc

    There was a similar thread not so long back, but the photo posted was belong to the previous poster - or something like that.

    You could just link to them instead of displaying them.
    Make the thread a bit tedious, though.

    Other than that, could always rely taking down pictures if complaints are received.

    We did have a thread before that would pick a shot from the previous poster.


    As pointed out this random posting could be a bit of a minefield.

    Will close this thread while it's discussed by the Mod Team.
