omgosh, there was a thread I replied to earlier that I was afraid of being 'tracked'. And I don't just mean by my name and address, but people can somehow google or search your features to other areas on the internet. Kind of scary.
A poster put her picture up and it had her full name on it. Now it's okay if you want to be 'public' like that.
But just remember, everyone can so easily find your address, your close relatives and even their spouses (exes too).
If you've spoken about them here, the whole world knows about them!
Too afraid to post anything because of privacy issues of others.
Not a fan of Facebook, I'm not on it, but........I'm on it!!

@Lucky Charm, This is just my view but I think it's a good idea to let the poster know the personal info is right there for all the world to see. Many images don't have this data, but many do and if the poster is unaware they could have problems in the future depending upon who sees the information. Of course, if they (and the people identified in the images) are comfortable posting personal details that's their prerogative -- as long as they do it will full knowledge.

Yep, I had my own personal pic up. I copied the URL address by hitting CTRL and clicking on the image. I then went to google, pasted the copied the address of my photo in goodle images, and hit the search button. All my personal info showed up. Bad form, QVC.

I wish more posters realized this danger exists, @PeterDM.

I told a poster before on the old board their name was showing, they got snippy and I left it at that. You can't help those who won't listen.
