The EXIF data is all still there. It's just a simple click to check out the info if you want to check out the details of the image you're enjoying. (Not everyone wants to see the EXIF - and many don't even know what it is!)... We'll continue to listen to feedback!
RuralDave - the forum is now run on a separate platform (for the time being, at least). We've added a button at the top of the page to go "back to Blipfoto")
