O.P. Tongue  Sugg: Image Protection
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 :dodgy:
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 :undecided:
Can we disallow saving of avatars and pics ??
LATE EDIT: Auxin is banned :O Spam or for some other reason ^o) Spam i think i read that in his rep report ^o)

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.

an easier way would be to disable javascript :p
too much work for such an easy-to-bypass feature, if you ask me...
btw, which forum was it, traxor ?

No way. :-/

- Those scripts are extremely dodgy, and are basically just hacks... I don't think JavaScript was ever meant to do such things.
- They never work like they're supposed to, or work in all browsers.
- They're very easy to get around.
- They'd make it harder to save any images, even the ones people are allowed to save.
- They might have other undesirable side effects, since they mess with your mouse clicks.
- I don't know JavaScript very good.

Why don't you add some text, or a logo, or a watermark, or something like that? If you plan on uploading your graphics to a public website, then they're vulnerable. Sorry. :-/

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
