Good vibes Gypsy. That's just not true though. The post was a copy of our exchange in the 'Bug Report' thread that included posts 130 and 131 by me and you. Just want to set the record straight, as I have never posted a copy of any pms, and our last pms were about an unrelated topic months and months ago... Feel free to look at the deleted post again and you'll see you are mistaken about the fact that I posted a PM...
Best of luck with all your endeavors, I truly appreciate all IC has done for me and hope to see it return to something I can enjoy in the future.
- Hmmm yes - I take that back - it was a post and not a PM - my apologies -
- Ya'll come back now ya'here? - lol

You can't remove pics once they are uploaded. That's a problem.

Hey Fred, I'll always owe you a great debt of gratitude for all your help and knowledge dropped, along with many others. We all stand on the shoulders of giants. The only reason I'm still checking in was to wait for your post and a few others that I knew would come. I don't plan to delete my account and hope IC can get it together where one day, maybe I can return. Until then I have no interest in sharing content like in this thread, but it will remain as a learning tool for those interested.
The issue is IC no longer lets users delete their account or delete pics from the posted photos album (ignoring all the other site upgrade issues). This was the only issue raised in posts 130 and 131 in the 'Bug Report' thread, one I still consider an important and critical issue. All we needed to hear was that the ability to control our own content would be updated and is a work in progress. Instead I got a strawman argument about how IC can't make our security their responsibility. All I asked for was a way to delete pics from the posted photos album and a way for users to delete their accounts, allowing users to control their own content. To be unable to fathom a reason why a user might want to delete certain pics or an account, after all that has happened here, was quite a shock. But Gypsy has sacrificed more for the plant than most ever will, and created something truly special to allow a connection between people all over the globe. So he absolutely has the right and authority to decide how he wants to run his site, just as I can decide whether or not to participate. I have mad respect for him as a human being and cannabis activist, just as I do many on this site.
I never expected my post to result in where we are now. This is the last thing I want to do, but I don't see any other way around it as long as that is the site's attitude towards content control for users and their security.
Best vibes to all the ganja growers

Hmmm... not sure how ICMAg can argue that our privacy is our responsibility while also removing the ability to delete content. seems somewhat contradictory... Really sad to see the update have such a negative impact on the quality of the community. the people are what make icmag anygood.
Sad to see you go...
Truly wishing the best moving forward. Hopefully the proper changes can be made so that we can all feel comfortable using this site.
ATUK - our webmeister/developer posted this recently:
''Hello all. This morning we've been talking about being able to delete albums with Verdant and have made a couple of videos which I'll add to this thread.
A couple of things to mention, there was actually a couple of different things going on here. The first was that if you were in certain usergroups it wasn't possible for you to edit or delete photos in an album. The second issue is the the ability to remove images from the 'Posted Pictures' album.
The first issue with users not being able to delete photos or remove albums has now been resolved. You can see an example of how this is done here:
Watch: https://www.icmag.com/share/video_de...user_album.mp4
The second issue relating to deleting images in the Posted Pictures album is slightly different but I've made a couple of videos which you can watch below, something to consider is that there is two methods to add images and have them show up in the Posted Pictures album. The first is by uploading them as attachments, the second is by clicking on the camera icon and creating a gallery inside your post, the images added to this gallery despite being a separate content type (gallery) are also added to your Posted Pictures album.
Now, these can be deleted, BUT they have to be deleted in the post or thread they were added to. This isn't ideal because it would be easier if you could delete them directly from the album in Your Profile > Media but as I said, they can be deleted. The easiest way to do it is to view the image in the Posted Pictures album and click on the link of the post that it says the image is posted in. You can see this being done in the second video. If you click on that link you'll be taken to the thread containing your image where you'll then be able to delete it.

Again, this isn't ideal but using this method it is possible to remove any sensitive images you upload by mistake.
On the note of security and keeping things safe for you lets talk about EXIF data. The forum software does remove EXIF data, however, you should NOT be uploading images that contain sensitive EXIF data anywhere (especially location data), including here. For your own safety you should always remove this data before uploading it anywhere, personally I wouldn't be taking any pictures of a sensitive nature with a phone and would only rely on a digital camera with no GPS functionality. Saying that, the forum will remove EXIF data but you should always do your own due diligence first.
Now, whilst finding a way to link to the Old Galleries on the old ICMag we built a script that scans every image in the media library and removes any EXIF data if it exists. This had to be done before we could knowingly link to the old galleries and is now complete.
On that front, we will be linking to members Old Galleries via their user profiles either tomorrow or the following day. For now we're simply going to be linking to an external template that loads them up and for the time being they will still live outside of your user profiles. After lots of faffing around we think we have a method to get these old gallery images ingested into member profiles. We will create a standard Old Gallery album for all members that have one on the old site and will import those images automatically, you'll be able to edit and delete them which is something you couldn't do on the old site. This however is quite involved so for the time being we will just be displaying the old galleries how they always were, 30 images on the page, prev and next pagination with no lightbox or ability to make any changes whatsoever.
Once that's done we're going to be making some further changes.
To add to what I've said above, if you have any concerns about anything you've posted on the site send either Gyp or me a PM and we'll remove it.''

Thanks for sharing, that's a start. It's not the most user friendly with having to click so many times to delete an image but better than nothing. I think this whole thing could have been avoided with a better response to the initial complaint/concern, but no need to dwell on it now that we're seeing actual progress.
Add in a delete account option, then bring back My IC and Rep Messaging and I'll be back to posting as usual... Nice to finally see some site progress
Teaser for now, hoping we can get the above fixed too... I love it here, so hope to be back... FYI flickr BB code works for those of you that don't like the IC pic uploader, giving the option to easily nuke all photos if necessary... I've given up hope on functional galleries that are user friendly

Consider me teased 
-holy smokes looking good lou
-holy smokes looking good lou
everybody complaining about pictures and i just want an unfucked search option.
the search used to be the tram to the top now all we got is this fucking donkey.
the best thing about icmag is the wealth of knowledge from years past. now that its harder to find it begs the question, what's the point?
Hi there, nice bud!
Ive been talking to ATUK quite a bit over the last few days.. trying to help sort out the images/gallery/image deletion stuff... and the dots situation... quite a bit of progress is being made and it is still being worked on. also i think there are plans to improve the rep system in the medium term.
It all seems to be moving forward a bit better now, fingers crossed
VG

Lou sorry for cluttering up your thread. Hopefully when the issues are sorted the thread can be cleaned up and you can come back.
Like VG said there are solutions in the pipeline, on a few things.
When you see a new thread by me, you'll know the problems have been fixed.
Ultimately this has been about making the site better. Anyhow, keep slaying mate.

Random updates... Over 7# of tops only last run from 4kw and 5 plants, the rest went to fresh frozen or popcorn piles... Running mostly OGC still, found a new nice Cookiewreck x (ECSD x OG/CD) cut that's stacking in the treehouse...
Messing with rosin, running new water sifting washing machines, pressing dry sift that's separating into terp fractions, running LEDs in some spaces now... Would love to share, but...
When's this website going to be fixed again? I've caught up with many old friends on IG, but still missing some of the head's here...
Would love to share if IC can get itself straightened out, ever.. No joke, had a dream last month and the My IC button was back, so was the old forum design.
Some teaser pics, I'll check back in next quarter, I guess...
Last 7#+ round pre-chop, a beautiful flush
Water hash
Dry sift, loose
Dry sift, hand pressed and leaking oil... Never seen sift leak oil like this...
Always tossing pollen... Catnip/Dr. Penthotal Sweet Pink Grapefruit BX x Agent Orange
Good vibes all,
LD
