  [quote]I wonder if the new software is misconfigured. I was looking at Sandymaslins photos today and saw a download button. The downloaded photo is high quality and does not have the TN watermark. Is this a mistake? I hope so. Please fix asap.[/quote] The ability to download is a new feature, but *you* must turn it on for other people to download your media. Apparently, SandyMaslin has it turned on. It's one of the options in your profile settings under "My Settings" then "Privacy" as "my photos/videos to be easily downloaded". Are you sure the watermark isn't there? It is much less intrusive than previous ones, and depending on the photo quality, what program your using to view, and your screen resolution, may just be off the screen. John aka cobeachbum

  I will say with this newest version, one of the glaring security issues that allowed access to some media has been rectified. I haven't had time to test many of the others, but have found a few new issues that I've reported. Security is improving, little by little.

  The watermark is not present on Sandymaslins photo. I've double checked. I just downloaded a susanvictoria photo and that does have the watermark on it.

  She may have uploaded it shortly after the new S/W was brought live. TT2 has indicated they weren't really ready to make the switch, but were forced to go live early due to issues with the previous version.
  
  There were a lot of minor issues with "hidden" links (group members button, next picture, approve member, etc). The code was there, just had a flag in place to not display it.
  
  Some of these things are easy to find as a non-administrator and let them know, others not so much. I did like that I got a response from TT2 for the issues I identified. That was new. At least I knew they were looking at them.
  
  As for Sandy, she's never been shy about her photos, but if you are TN friends with her, you may want to let her know which picture(s) do not have the watermark, and that they are downloadable. As I am not a TN friend with her, and most of her media is set to friends only, I can't see which one you are referencing. All of the recent ones have the watermark. The very last one is set to friends only, so I can't tell.
