Pics in others posts
May 13, 2018 16:13:05 #
I think there is a rule (guideline?) To not post a pic in someone else's thread. I have done it several times and others have done it in my thread. I dont have a problem with it especially when it is instructive (from people that know what they are talking about) or illustrates a point they are trying to make (pic says a thousand words).
When is it a bad thing to do?
"I have a better one" would be on the edge of good manners as an example....
...I wonder sometimes if under the guise of illustration I am doing "I have a better one".
If this has already been debated, please post the thread...or a screenshot of the guidelines.
( hmmm..best not...a screenshot would classify as a pic? :-)

I agree with you. There should me some modicum of judgment as to when to post an image in someone else's topic. For instructional purposes, I can see it. However, I usually inquire as to whether the OP would like to see the image posted or not. Most of the time I simply send the suggestions through PMs.
I've actually seen one example on UHH where someone posted a rather nice photograph and someone took it upon themselves to rework and post a 'Here's How I Would Have Done It' reply. As one can imagine, that didn't go over well.
Unless someone specifically asks for help or instructions, I think it's best to refrain from posting any photographs within someone else's thread.

I'm sure the subject has been brought up before; many such subjects are discussed often. I'm also sure that if the subject has been discussed within the past 4 months the usual UHH topic monitors will be pointing it out.
I posted a photo in another's thread without their consent once when I was new here and I got yelled at and scolded for it. I apologized for my error. What annoyed me most wasn't the scolding but the scolder never acknowledge my apology and to me that was way rudder than my unknowingly posting a photo in their thread.
I now just stick to the rules and don't post photos in another's thread without their consent. Many folks don't mind at all as long as you aren't trying to one up them. Others are so bloody possessive of their threads; I simply avoid them.
Way too many people don't quite grasp the concept of communicating on social media. The basis of this forum, the UHH, is people who all supposedly have one thing in common, a passion for photography, but poster beware if you post a photo in the wrong place.

I think some folks do it out of ignorance. I remember a beautiful landscape taken somewhere in the Southwest.
On page 2 someone posted that he had been there with his wife a few years before. He posted a snapshot of his wife at a roadside rest including a sign that proved they were there. I doubt he meant any harm.
As far as intentionally posting your pictures {better or worse}in another's thread, it should be avoided in most cases. Bob spelled it out very well.

I do it if I am answering the OP's question and a photograph will illustrate the point.

It's addressed in the sticky topic at top of Photo Gallery's home page:
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-426-1.html
That paragraph mentions hijacking. If just saying, "Oh yeah, I have a shot of that too..." some OP's don't mind at all, some do. Out of respect for the OP, I wouldn't do it. Well, actually I did do it shortly after I joined UHH - lol - but I know better now
A reference is made in For Your Consideration's "welcome" - "It is accepted forum-wide that one must not edit another person's image without explicit permission to do so. The same applies in FYC. A request for permission often results in permission being granted." Possibly the editing aspect is not addressed - nor an issue - in every single specialty forum, though. As suggestion/instruction, private messages are great IMO (though the ability to attach a file wasn't available until two years ago).

Thanks for the link !
I found this nugget there:
It is OK to post pictures when explicitly invited by the OP or when posting pictures inside an existing topic would genuinely benefit that particular discussion.
...whew...

"...that particular discussion" seems like should be refering to main forum, maybe? I never noticed that part, but talk about being open to subjective interpretation! No Photo Gallery topic will be safe now

The Photo Gallery is not a discussion. And posting images into another's photo gallery post, without prior explicit request by the OP, will also fail the genuinely benefit threshold.

The quoted line is from the Photo Gallery's section rules. Maybe Admin meant to say "and" instead of "or..."

As someone who occasionally references these section rules, I'm aware. My point is one should not be generous in reading these words and assume their action is an actual contribution to the OP's post.
Our OP's comment "I have a better one" would be on the edge of good manners as an example.... would be accurate if they meant outside the edge of good manners.

I don't see it as a bad thing if you're trying to illustrate a point. If you're trying to top someone else's weak (in your opinion) effort then you're just being rude. Some sections don't allow you to post in reply. The Critique section comes to mind. It's always bad form to edit someone else's photo and post it without first getting permission. Usually it's done in good faith, someone trying to illustrate how an image may have been manipulated to make it better. But it's bad form if you don't ask first.
