View Full Version : EXIF Information Stripped From Images

By default I don't believe VB strips any EXIF info, it should leave the picture intact.

No resizing is taking place as we limit uploads to 800px for all images types and have disabled thumbnails.

But whenever a picture is attached to a forum thread for display, all EXIF information is removed.

This is quite bad as we are a photography forum!

We have checked php and recompiled it with EXIF support and also checked the options for GD engine.

Does anyone have any ideas why the EXIF is being stripped from all attached images?

I have checked the options and there doesn't seem to be anything relating to image meta data?

Unless the image is resized, it should not make any modifications i would think.

If this is happening with default vBulletin, then i suggest you open a Support Ticket.
