Re: What's Going On?
Hi Steve, That's a nice photo. I was in Norway for a weeks in March (for a combination of work and cross country skiing) and the person next to me on the train was telling me all about her fjord horse. I've never seen on in person, though. The Mail Archive allows lists to be customized with a logo. It's just a cute way of personalizing an archive, and a fair number of lists take advantage of this feature. Everyone viewing the archive sees the same picture and there's a short blurb on this in the FAQ. As for who added the image, I can only be of partial help. The Mail Archive deletes website access logs pretty quickly, just keeping some aggregate statistics. I don't generally like having records sitting around about who has accessed what data, and it also wastes disk space. So I don't have records on which IP address submitted the horse; but the picture has been around since February 17th. You may want to talk to your fellow list members to see if some enthusiastic member submitted the picture without discussing it. We've had little to no abuse of this feature so far, but if it becomes a problem M-A can get more serious about access controls. In the mean time I think we're ok with the current process. Please assure the concerned list member that The Mail Archive is not spying into anyone's hard drive.

What's Going On? 2
OK, I just uploaded a new picture and see you review uploads before they are used. Do you have any idea when the picture of the horse was uploaded? Do you know where uploads originate? Might not be a bad idea to limit access to this to owners of the lists. -- Steve McIlree - Pferd, Skipper & Clust - Omaha, NE/Las Cruces, NM, USA A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. --Josh Billings -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What's Going On?
I just received the following question from one of my list subscribers. > I have a question. > When i go to > http://www.mail-archive.com/fjordhorse%40angus.mystery.com/index.html > In the top corner there is a picture from one of my files on my > computer. If i click it it brings me to www.mail-archive.com, is > that pic the same for everyone, and how did it get that pic. That > is a personal pic from my file. Of my horse. I too get a picture at the top left of A horse which is a link to your home page, but it isn't a picture from MY system. So I guess the question is, where did you get the horse picture? Are you spying on this lady's hard drive or is she just paranoid? Or is it possible she did it herself? It appears that anyone who wanders to the lists' info page can upload a picture. I browsed through some other lists' top pages, and mine seems to be the only one with a top left picture on it. Any ideas? -- Steve McIlree - Pferd, Skipper & Clust - Omaha, NE/Las Cruces, NM, USA Horses carry the history of mankind on their backs.
