Well I've already created the account, now I just need to start doing the "Switch User" routine when I am posting.
There is some personal information that is leaking through in some people's posts.
If you download an image file, and do a right click "properties", on some image files posted by members you will find personal info embedded in the image properties.
Part of that is the path listing.
That's why I suggest an User Account name that is impersonal & ready for consumption by the General public.
Also, I suggest posting from a drive that the anon. User Account has access to.
The point being, if someone does a right click properties, it's better that they see,
"F:/Cannabis_pic", owned by user "Anon_account",
than some of the other pathnames & ownership's that are sneaking through, in some of our posts.
Since it's a pain in the ass to switch users when you have a work session set up, I guess that means the "Anon account" becomes your main working account.
Anyway, just a little security suggestion. Definitely the direction I'm going in, though I don't have a lot of time for computer System Admin stuff.
Mostly, I'm speaking of Windows OS's when I talk about User Accounts, though I have found Linux Ubuntu to be similar (but haven't browsed ICMag with it.)
