You're in the clear dude, the man doesn't have jurisdiction of that red dwarf star.
Scrub out all EXIF data. My camera doesn't write any EXIF data that could really identify me, but safe to scrub it out anyway. Make you're albums private if you want.
very safe. for extra safety, you can:
- use a program like Secure Delete (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx) to wipe your photos from your pc after you upload them to ICMAG
- use an image editing program to resize your photos and remove the EXIF data. Opening a picture in photoshop and 'saving for web' will do this
- erase icmag from your comp's history every once in a while
All in all, pretty dang safe if you take the proper precautions.

well the servers are supposedly safe. so pretty much you are as safe as what you post. dont give them any ammo. leave them piggies confused

i use a few computers, mac, ipad, a pc and a netpad to brows the net... whenever i upload pic's its on my netbook as its easier to edit my photos on that... i may then right the post later on, on another laptop and add the photos from my albums... does that make sense?
my camera is a 7 year old cannon not that modern to have gps or coded info to worry about?
suppose i need to wipe everything from now and then as this account is what will get me in trouble for past grows....
i was just more worried that i could be tracked from here to my home address via my ip address or some shit im not to shit hot on internet security and how traceable you are thats why i asked....
thanks everyone for taking the time to post
internet evidence is almost never used in the uk,,yet,,, mainly because big growers they get dont use sites like icmag and if they do the evidence doesnt carry enough implication over the physical evidence,,yet,
icmag is the largest and best ganja forum so your technically safer in numbers i guess, but you could be traced if someone really wanted,,, but it wouldnt be because of ganja that someone made the effort, imo anyway,,
google has probably already profiled you anyway

can you elaborate a bit on these please....
thanks
Still waiting...
if a government body or particular licensed private organisation wanted to know your ip address then they can get it,,, and google(and friends) is profiling and saving everything you buy or search for that they know about, and then storing the data for some reason in corporate owned military installations in israel,,
money is irrelevent, information is power

We had all our shit takin by the cops a few years back, plants, computer, pretty much everything...they didnt say a word about what sites we went to on line, had a outdoor thread going at the time and from years before. They were looking for sales shit, couldnt care less....but thats just our experience
Unsecured home wireless networks are my way to upload , hundreds to choose from in the local town and a dozen available from my home adress .
Many of the free access wifi points at hotels and similar have icmag and half the web filtered out , feels a bit cheeky useing others connections but its done in seconds and i dont poke around.
I have no broadband account registered here , every problematic upload comes from a different IP over a large geographical area as work takes me , images and email kept online , seems pretty safe to me.

yes gps, the exact co-ordinance where the picture was taken.
