I do not like to run into any copyright issue since these are my very own pictures...but having them already posted elsewhere may cause an issue in the future for the book...

At the same time, I would hate to have to withhold pictures and stories to share to avoid people using the material without permission...for the sake of this book that may be compiled in the future...

You may have to split the images that you post on forums from the images you want to keep for any future publication, or put a watermark on all your pics that appear online. Google has probably farmed all the pics from the public forums and they show up under a search, with no copyright tag in the image.

Or tell everyone that you never take any photos and keep them all private.....
