Is there any reason why I cannot access the great Vacation Thread of 2010? When I try to operate my saved link I am getting a message saying I do not have permission to access this thread. And I cannot seem to find it through the usual searches.

I tried getting it via Google and it worked for me

Try typing this into Google exactly (e.g. make sure there's no space between colon & t, etc.)

Code:
great vacation thread 2010 site:thecatsite.com

No, that only brings up a list of sign-ups and other threads about holidays. I understand from Jcat that the thread was removed because of copyright violations by members. It is such a shame that people do not obey the rules.

Anyway, I have found a version of my own bit that I was working on to add to my web site and I can use that to send to my friend who wants some info prior to a visit here.

Actually at the time I didn't even know posting pics from other websites was a no-no, and it certainly wasn't mentioned at the time. The issue came up later. And I think almost everyone posting in the thread did it. Without being able to pull in pics from the places we're going... the thread just isn't any fun. (IMO).

I think many people just posted a link to the website of the town/attraction they were mentioning, unless they had their own pix to use. And there are plenty of non-copyright pics of places too if one does a bit of research in the free photo libraries.

I've just found it but it was removed so it could have been because of the pictures due to copyrite?. I used to get mine from a site called "Free Fotos"

Like I said, I wasn't aware of the copyright issue at the time.

The forum rules spell it out clearly:
Quote:
9. a) It is illegal to embed copyrighted photos, images or text in a thread or post. Any photos or images of this nature will be deleted from posts without warning and disciplinary action may be taken. The absence of a copyright notice on an image or the ignorance of who owns the copyrights does not mean it isn't protected by law. In general, if you didn't make the image or take the photo, don't post it.

Oh dear, I didn't mean for my original innocent request to spark a huge debate, but I guess it is good to remind everyone from time to time. I only hope that some time in the future we can do another vacation thread or similar, and that everyone will know and obey the rules.

Yup, they do. And perhaps the thread wouldn't have been pulled if any of the mods participating had reminded members of the rules at the time.
