:T:T Added to the forum feedback post. They do appear to be breaching their own privacy policy

Creeping sheepishly out from lurking for the last month -sorry, busy work life taken over I'm afraid.

Firstly there's been some wonderful "makes" being shared. What a pity mse have blown it by agreejng for things to be pinned. I do use pinterest but try very hard to pin free things or the actual place where you can buy from now. I have to say when I started I wasn't so careful and did pin some things that were probably copies. I have since tried to remove them and I can't, which seems to be a fault in my opinion.

I am unlikely to add photos here now which is a great shame. If we post them to flickrdoes anyone know how secure they are there?

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, we realise it may feel strange to you but the message below should help explain (we've posted it on the Site Feedback thread too).

Welcome to our new Pinterest followers



We want as many people to benefit from the MoneySaving content on MSE (main site and Forum) as possible. Hopefully you'll agree that's what we're here to do.

By doing this we're going to be doing what our Forum users have been doing for some time. If you search it for "forums.moneysavingexpert.com" you'll see many forum posts and threads going back years.

Other websites, and newspapers, can and do use content from our own forum and have done so for several years (we typically wouldn't enforce the copyright provisions of our T&Cs where the use is fair).

Those are then quoted by other sites etc, etc. It's common in both online and offline media. Also remember we've included forum content in our weekly email to now 9.5 million people for over a decade.

Please also remember our forum’s content is fully searchable and viewable by anyone, worldwide.

Like our twitter account the aim is two-fold:

a) To encourage other people to read and use the Forum – we want to help as many people as possible save money.

b) To encourage our Forum and main website users to step out of their "usual boards" and visit others they may not have used or, in fact, known about before.

By all means express your thoughts on why you feel this would be detrimental to the Forum. We’re happy to hear genuine, well-formed objections.
