[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1544216, member: 18945"] If that were true, then everyone would have access to the files ON your computer, (which is a BIG security NO-NO!) AND, if your computer were turned off or you weren't connected to the internet, then no one would be able to see any of the pictures you had previously posted. FB does host the pictures you upload to them, but they are a multi-billion $$ software company with many Terabytes of storage capacity..it's in the petabytes total. Their servers scan over 200 terabytes of data each hour. CT for the most part does not store any of our photos. It just keeps the links to the host every time Mr Gravley backs up or archives the forum. The ONLY time any computer accesses the picture ON your computer is when YOU initially upload it to the hosting site...PB, PostImage, Imgur etc. After that, every computer or phone, (including yours) that opens a thread with pictures in it, accesses the pictures via a hyperlink within the posts that connects your browser to the hosting website. Once you uploaded that picture to Postimage, you could even delete the picture from your computer and it wouldn't affect what anyone here sees at all. The same with Facebook. That 'button' I posted above? It's actually a hyperlink to an image (the picture of the button) that is linked via UB code to a web page...in this instance, to Postimages. Here's what it actually looks like in link form and it's what your browser 'sees'. Your browser's software (along with some other "magic" coverts this into the image of the 'button' [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/rFYSL6sz/pisig.jpg[/img][/url] Just because you didn't 'see' it, didn't mean it wasn't happening.
