The update is great. Now if only you could post a decent pic occasionally...
EXIF Info Is Here!

I checked and that one is stripped of EXIF info too.

Just testing my Lightroom preset to make sure it's not the source of the issue. (seems OK)

Strange - when I run the same image I uploaded through exifdata.com, it comes back with this:

From another site I post to - again same image:

Weird.
Try pulling the image right off this site and see. I tried the exifdata.com site with the one I have and when I click Detailed information I get no camera data.

Oh no, I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it. If I can figure out what's going on, it'll answer questions when it doesn't work. The system uses PHP to pull the EXIF data though, so I'm not 100% sure if there's much I can do from a software perspective. I'm thinking I might need an export guideline.Don't get me wrong Steve - I think this is GREAT - just trying to help work through the kinks...
I did - one thing I noticed is the image size I uploaded is 3000x2000 - the one in the post is 2000x1344. Is there a resize process that happens on the backend? Could that be stripping the info?

No EXIF is showing in Photoshop when I look.

I saw that too - the system isn't supposed to allow images over 1200px so I was going to see what was happening. I wonder if it's resizing and stripping the info. If you have time, can you try one at 1200px?
I wonder if the method used to post to BCG forums makes a difference. IOW, I typically use the Ctrl-P (Cmd-P on a Mac) to post images but have also used Copy-Paste and have also linked to a URL using the Insert Image icon on top of the edit screen. I wonder if those might handle EXIF data differently and some methods might strip it off while others leave it attached to the posted image.

For fun - same image - new export from Lightroom at the size that the original was rescaled to:

And there it is....so anything that gets scaled down on the backend is getting it's info stripped.

I noticed this is resized to 2000 px as well. Can you try it at 1200px - as Tim suggests, maybe the system is resizing the images and stripping EXIF in the process.

GREAT call!!! Thanks! that will help.
I'm not sure why the system is allowing larger images in the first place though - I had that limit set at one point. All of the updates must have changed it. I want to limit the wide side to 1200px so I don't go broke buying HDs for the server
Plus, the site has a hard 1400px width limit, so anything over 1200px isn't necessary anyway.
I believe that's exactly what's happening..
One more test - original image but rescaled in the dialog by me:

Anytime! And this trip is all about astro/milkyway shooting so we'll see...first time giving this a serious go....
Will be fun either way!
I believe the "Save for Web" under "Export" in photoshop anyway strips EXIF info. That's what I've always used so have to change my way of doing things.
So 1200px on the long side is the limit? When you click on files you uploaded Steve they look smaller. Not sure why that is?
