With the advent of being able to find anything online or from cook books, There is a natural tendency to baulk posting that recipe. It's Totaly OK to post up something you found and cooked. Recipes cannot be copyright , Only the describing words if there are any. Words like " Jolly Rodgers pies must be served with jolly Rodgers special 12 ingreedient sauce." Can be copywrite Anything to do with a chefs style of writing may be copyright so just leave it out.
If it's just a recipe it's fair game and it's also fair to just place the credit. You can also change any wording to suit yourself if you think there may be a commercial describing word.
I use online recipes all the time and If find one that is worth sharing, I will I only copy the actual recipe list and give my own account of happenings as I usually change them anyway. But if the method is just, " Beat eggs and add sugar " Your right to go. Forums like this cannot compete with online recipes and would be silly to try. What we can do is share our Experiance. Finding a recipe is fun, But cooking it is what we are all about. If you cooked it last night or ten years ago it doesn't matter.

Copyright is something that various events have brought to the forefront although half the time it's more plagiarism. Recipes are just not able to be copyrighted as such, it's all been done and if it hasn't it will be a variation on something that has been done is the essence. If that were not the case, think about it, every women's magazine on earth would be short a LOT of pages, especially this time of year with all the faire being recycled. On the other hand it's always nice to give credit where credit is due if you post up something you found that was good when tried. I pretty much always at least make note of where the origin of a recipe came from. For example, I do love bearnaise sauce and the Greta Ana is my go-to, but, I don't make it quite the way described, prefer it my way Fortunate or not food science is a pretty much fully explored field, but the combinations and techniques and circumstances of a cook are not, just as well, or fast food might actually be food The lawyers can go grumble, there are no pickings to be had in sharing recipes, no matter where they come from Cheers

My recipes hold no copyright and are free to be copied tweaked or whatever you like to do with them. I get a lot of pleasure n sharing my recipes. As you are aware I have put hem in a book and give that to people freely, I do ask people for donations to a charity but it is not compulsory.
Recipes are for sharing unless they are a commercial product.

Not even that Capt, no commercial recipe can be copyright, Only the adverbatum like the maccadees or KFC,s come up with. The actual recipe , if you know it is free. If you worked for such and gave away trade secret, that's another story. That's why the buggers kept it secret, They have been busted however they use the simple rule of denile. No, that's not the original,,,,, Stuff on food serch are all open
