WDZ,

Stephen, as been coming onto this website, taking my graphics, and putting them on another forum under my name, claiming that he is the one who designed the graphics etc. Its really annoying me, I'm thinking of contacting his parents or something but yeah anyway. I propose that you should have some type of protection, where you can't right click and save your image, there are ways around this I know, but somebody dumb enough to steal the graphics, would also be dumb enough as not to know these work-arounds, its just a minor precaution really ...

He's stealing
Ya i think if it can be done then u should employ image control but then we wont be able to save the funny pics that ppl send
Can we disallow saving of avatars and pics ??
LATE EDIT: Auxin is banned Spam or for some other reason Spam i think i read that in his rep report

To avoid the disable right click, all you have to do is take a screenshot of the page the pic is on and then cut it out.....

Ya I agree with this image protection idea.

We all know why he's banned.

But surely, there are certain steps that I can take to assure that he doesn't use my images again, if you make something, its automatically copyrighted to you isn't it? So, I can do something...

Stephen, went onto a forum, stole my display pictures, created a user named traxor and used my avatars...

or you can set the avatars as a bg image and have a blank image over the top, therefore when u right click > save it saves a nice blank image for you :nana:

yes still easy to bypass but nicely confusing for noobs

its not that hard to create a new div really, apart from the whole thing if people create a large display picture, or something, maybe you should have one of those things like IPB, where if your picture is over a certain size, then u aren't allowed to even hotlink it...

what i think you should do is have a DIV with the maximum height that the avatars can be, and then have the image in that div, and another div on top of that, which should make it unclickable.

A div on top of a div? I don't think I know how to do that.

Some kind of relative positioning?

Meh... I don't wanna add avatar protection anyway... I wanna go back to sleep.

---

yeh, obviously, but the idea is to throw of the would-be casual image theif.

Of course if you really want to get technical, you could somehow make the image a video, so it doesnt print screen quite so easily

Or there might be some javascript that makes a div with a black background appear when you press print screen

Personally I don't think it is our or WDZ's responsibility to protect things that have been stolen off these forums or elsewhere. It is your responsibility

If it is really your own work then you can action him with a cease and decist letter for him to stop using your intellectual property. It is copyrighted work to you.

Now with this 'div' idea and the background as the avatar you would need to also store the height/width of the avatar so the div would stretch and for the size of the clear image. The same applies for the idea of two div's - you need the div to be able to stretch right over the top.

My experience is, when you start playing with something like this (the two div idea) you're going to be using relative/absolute positioning. It's going to create browser incompatibilities and all sorts of problems.

Yeah, there is that... no JavaScript...

But what would have the avatar background applied to it? Probably have to create a new <div>...

---

code:

---

class avatar {width:maxwidth; height:maxheight; align:center; valign:top}

<div class="avatar" style="background:avatarlink"></div>

---

code:

---

<div class="avatar" style="background:avatarlink"><img class="avatar" src="blankimage.jpg"></div>

Instead of your name, put your email address (make a new one if you don't wanna give out you're original one).

That way you can just pop up on these forums and tell them that guy is stealing your pictures and they can send an email to the address on the picture (which is yours) for proof (of which you'll send a reply confirming the story). Then he'll be exposed for the liar he is.

Just an idea.

i like ahmzidea it sounds like it would really work

Trax, think of it this way, lifes a bitch, be a Bitch back to him , 2 can play the same game but rougher

Real Image protection is impossible
