Dear Sirs and Madam,

about one months ago I uploaded some fotos of my grandmother in the tree and now cannot find them. I have worked some houres on  restoration of old family fotos of she and it was bad surprise for me that someone can just delete my work.  How can I protect fotos/info uploaded by me from change or delete? Is in geni any possibility to find out  - who was in profile of my grandmother  and delete the fotos?

I appreciate in advance your kindly support and remain

your sincerely

T. Jurtschenko

  Tatjana, I don't believe someone can delete the photos you've uploaded.  They should all be available in your photo section (http://www.geni.com/photo/recent_albums).  However, people can "untag" who is in the photo, which might remove the picture from your grandmother's profile.  To see all the media (pictures) attached to your grandmother's profile, go to the profile and select the "Media" tab.  If you don't see your picture there, then you need to "retag" (identify) your grandmother as the person in the photo, which will allow it to show up on her profile.  Once the picture is in the Media section, you can select it and then choose it as her "profile photo".  I don't know how to tell if someone (or who) untagged a person in a photo.  You might be able to see this in the Revisions tab of the profile.  If you find out, you could block them in your settings (http://www.geni.com/account_settings/blocked_users), which should prevent them from doing it again, but it would make sense to find out why they are removing that person from the profile (untagging her in the photo) and work out an understanding/agreement (usually people don't go around untagging photos for no reason).

  Dear Jeff,

  thank you for your help!!!

  I feel relief, that fotos uploaded by me cannot be removed from anyone.

  I found this foto through http://www.geni.com/photo/recent and set this once more as profile foto. It is strange, but before i cound not find this in fotos of my grandma, even her name was mindicated in this foto.

  Anyway, now is all OK, thank you once more!
