yes still easy to bypass but nicely confusing for noobs
Yeah, there is that... no JavaScript... (y)

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

O.P. RE: Sugg: Image Protection
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. :p

Some kind of relative positioning? :-/

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

You know they could just take a screenshot to get around the image anti-saving code...

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 :p

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

But it's his hard work, and he doesn't want people to steal it. Traxor, just go slap him with a large trout. [Image: troutslap.gif] :rolleyes:

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.
