Considering the thousands of pictures I post every year, it affects me as much as anyone. If it's important to you too, I'd suggest / kindly ask that you consider voicing your opinion on the matter in the Feedback forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Are they even bothering to read the feedback forum? Or is it mostly to keep the complaints from clogging up the rest of the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate when I was a kid - our parents took us on many cool vacations. We drove all over the place, exploring the USA - especially the west. We visited National Forests, Monuments, and Parks, historic locations, and some of the most beautiful places this country has to offer. Plus, we had a family cabin in the local mountains that was on a lake, with nothing but national forest behind us. Water and snow skiing, hiking, fishing, hunting - I grew up doing all that stuff. It gave me a serious appreciation for the outdoors, and for nature. I feel sorry for kids who don't get those opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
