The pic is of two women in skimpy red outfits, so I was curious about why
it would be in a GW thread about columns. I clicked on the thread title,
and sure enough, it's in the thread, but reading the text, it sounds as
if the original pic has been replaced.

How does that happen? I'm sure the original poster, who is still
active on GW, isn't responsible, and I apologize to her for posting
this, but I'm curious about the apparent hijack or glitch or whatever is
going on.

The pic isn't terribly offensive, just not what anyone here would
post to illustrate a decorating feature. Maybe my computer has a
virus--if no one sees a questionable pic in the thread, please let me
know. If it's really there, I guess I'll report it, or if we all flag
it, maybe they'll investigate.

Link to the older thread--scroll down

Another interesting thing--when I closed out the Google search, and retyped 'bookcases with columns' in a new window, the image didn't come up in the second search. ETA, If I type 'bookcase with columns', the images is there--that must have been what I typed originally.

Wow! That's weird. Not to mention a little creepy. I have no idea how that would even happen...the links to pics would be so specific, no? I wouldn't think it would be replaceable.

Justgotabeme, did someone hack your tinypic account? Or is there something you're not tellling us?

Very creepy.

Hmmm, strange, but I don't find it creepy.

I guess She Just Has to Be Her. Who knew?

All kidding aside, that is disconcerting. I do wonder how it happened, because usually if you change something it just breaks the link, it doesn't sub in a new photo in my experience.

Yes CREEPY. To think that a posted photo could be changed. That photo could have been anything.

Bizarre and creepy!

Tina, you don't find it creepy, cause you don't post photos. ;)

Really, I think Tina posts photos. If she does not I have totally confused her with someone else. I thought I remembered her home in my mind.

I thought I remembered her home in my mind.

I think that's the only place you'll see photos of Tina's home.

Dh writes code and he looked at it. He said most likely the original image, which is stored in tinypic, was changed by the original owner using the same file name so it doesn't break the link. Or it was hacked.

OK, it's good to know that it's not just me. Let's all flag it to get mod's attention.

That is definitely a hack and Tinypic gets hacked on a consistent basis, it's not a safe place for image sharing. Better to use Flickr, Photobucket or Google+ if you want more security.

Something must have happened since this was first posted as my original post where you all saw the picture, that was not mine, isn't even there anymore. Just Susan's comment about it and mine back to her. I do remember that thread and that I did a mock up of the bookcases for her, but I haven't used Tiny Pix in a long time. I'll have to check if I can even get into it and see if the original photo is still there.

No reason to appologize Mama Goose. It's a very curious happening. I wish I could have seen the picture in question.
My Tiny Pic account is still there, but not the picture I did for Susan, nor any picture of just two women in anything red and skimpy. I do have quite a few copies of women in vintage/40's bathing suits. I was working on headers for various boards on a private forum I was building on for some crazy ladies I met while on Hometalk. One of them named us (there were 12) the Ramblin' Rosies, since we had a bad habit of gabbing and taking over others threads, especially ones about spiders for some odd reason, which is why we started another group elsewhere. Here's the photo.

Oh, my, gosh! No I did NOT post that photo. I decided to Google "Bookcase with Columns". I have absolutely NO clue how that could have gotten on my posting, at all! That is SO not something I would ever, ever think of posting anywhere. Not even privately. The photo above is as risque as I get. In fact my last bathing suit was very similar to the yellow suit on the far right. Mine was lime green.

Justgotabme-I linked the pic if you like to see what it was .Google Search

off topic, oh no, then I wonder whose home I am thinking of!

Justgotabme, I'm glad you're not offended--I put the info in my second post in case you were. The window for editing is much shorter in an OP.

Thank you all for responding!

It became known as the "tooting your own horn" thread.

LOL! I am so sorry that I missed it! I'm just imagining though ... and it ain't pretty!

Cindy/Natal, I have posted a very few pictures, not sure why you are so interested. The pic was not creepy to me simply because I assumed there was an explanation.

Mountain, there was another tina here and also a tinan. Perhaps one of them. Many years ago I was followed on-line by a police officer (so he said) who emailed me and also had my personal address. He said he wanted me to know how easy that could happen on the internet. ??? So, I do not use my real name, have a separate email account for on-line stuff, etc. The times I have shared pictures it is usually of an item, an area, etc. Never of the outside of my home, a whole room, etc. Simply my preference.

Tina, so interested??? Was just making a statement that you don't post photos of your home ... and you have confirmed that.

Whatever, not the first time you've mentioned it and I can certainly speak for myself.

Allison, so he could play a sax while doing yoga? Kewl.

I am so trying not to let my mind go there re "tooting your own horn" but I am failing miserably. OMG! Too funny. I bet that man spent a lot of time alone :-).

I can't help but think of the old joke where the two guys are just standing there, watching a dog lick its privates. One man sighs and murmurs, "Man, I wish I could do that." Other man says, "Go ahead. It's your dog."

(Awful, awful.)

AJ, I would like to "like" your last post but then my true sense of humor would be outed :-).

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but this thread brought it to mind. Thanks a lot! :D

Well, MizGG I am sure someone will have that vid pulled :-)

I hope I'm not put in time-out, Marlene. :D

MizGG, I was laughing so hard, tears were flowing.

LOL! I'm so glad I'm the only one in the office today because I just hooted! Freakin' HOOTED!

Tina, Oh well, I have a mental picture of everyone's home, and some of them I probably just totally imagined. I can think of a lot of posters who have never posted their own home. I can understand that.

It's awfully close to Christmas for y'all to be so naughty. :P

You're right. (He's watching ...)

I really feel sorry for him!
