A person on UK thread said i am stealing photos even i provide the correct source, the photographer name under the photo. It is a flickr picture but i didn't take it from there, i got it from the other skyscrapers thread which was originally posted by other poster. I know how to credit flickr photos and i do it always and every time i post. So, my question is can i or am i allowed to post with the source is under the picture? or is it stealing like other person insulted me? Explain me please

You are welcome! Since I'm now a North American moderator, as well as having Miami and now the Florida forum, I have stickied this thread in all the North American discussion forums with the permission of the administrator. I've gotten a lot of good feedback about it. I wasn't even doing it right myself until I saw that diagram. The way Flickr use to have the link before, it never worked right for me until they upgraded their website.
