Does anyone else wonder...
1. If it's possible to private message a member?
2. Where is the access to the "Album" hidden? Or does it only automatically appear if/when we upload an image into a post?
And finally, & most important,...
3. I understand that some of this is necessary when running a public forum, but in reading the "Proprietary Rights" clause, the words appear to give up all the rights to any images uploaded here.
For reference, here's what it says:

Personally, I think that this goes too far.

I just sent you a PM Frank. So that works.

Thanks, Chris, & I got the email notification. Now if I could only find where they've hidden them!

Hey Frank,
If you look up in the top, right corner; underneath the Search button, you'll see a small, red envelope. Click that and it will take you to your inbox.

"small, red envelope. " Agggh! Thanks! I thought it was a drop down menu.

Then don't post. As long as you know the rules going in you can't really complain.
Same reason I don't do any of the magazine type photo contests.

wow, that goes WAY too far.
I can see that be very stifling to an image-based community such as this. e.g. if we're trying to help each other out regarding a photography technique, I would not post any images as examples because I am implicitly giving up rights on them. No bueno!
This is something mods and Canon should address/change asap!
