Myway. I have your issue solved!!! I was viewing the id thread as everything unraveled and looked around myself. What happened is this. The way that tarponizer posted the link to his picture in his thread causes the picture to open up in your default picture viewer which I assume is the default XP Viewer (see below). If you click on the forward or back button it will show you pictures that reside on your PC in the same location wherever the file you are viewing is cached. The good news is you are good to go and your system has not been compromised!!

I did not expect everyone to help, I wanted help from the original poster. I still think the risk of a members computer is more important than a coral ID.
How would you have handled this situation if you thought the security of your computer was comprimised? Also remember that I don't have the resources you as a moderator have. My only source was the original poster, but you thought his coral ID was more important. I am glad it turned out to be what it was, but I will always remember your lack of help on this matter. The only support I got from you was to e-mail the original poster, you as a mod should know barely anyone leaves access to their e-mails on this site. My only recourse was to make a fuss and get someones attention. I'm sorry to have taken time out of your day for something that at the time seemed important to me.
Viper I obviously don't need to e-mail you, thank you for making yourself available to help with this.

My Way, I would have scanned my computer from multiple progrmas to look for the "hack".
I appreciate your concern, but let's look at the outcome; You accused a poster here of hacking your computer and stealing a photo. That poster was 100% innocent.
In the future if you have a concern simply ask a mod to contact you via email and discuss it that way.

I would agree with you with this, but why choose one over the other? You could ask for the member's email and clear it up privately and he could continue with his coral ID.
Mods don't have access to member's emails any more than you do. I simply did a past search and found the member's email address as he posted it before.
I'm glad it got resolved as it did though.

Glad it has been resolved. Also glad you're computer is secure!
