disabling right-click...

[JazmenFlowers]

this makes me laugh. ha ha ha!

at first, it infuriates me that people disable right-click on their sites, but then I roll with laughter. if you don't want people to save the picture, don't put it on the internet, simple as that. I mean, really.

and sorry if this offends any of you who do this, but seriously, most of us want the pics to use as signatures, for our desktops, wallpapers or personal collection...I get the concept, but let it go.

Especially the ones that you know aren't their's. Like the really old ones of Stevie and the Mac. It's like, you don't own the rights to these pics, so why do act like you do If I'm missing something, please explain.

Shyeah, that pisses me off, too. But y'know, more often than not (I've come across a few pics that are proected against this! which is ridiculous) you CAN save them without rightclicking... Usually, if you hover over the picture, in the left-hand corner a little thing of options will come up. You just hit the little save icon.

hey sweets...
indulge me while i offer the following scenarios. keep in mind ive #1 webpunk's hat on...e.g. not my thinking!

#1 "whoa my site is tits! ive all kinds rare chit! you wont find this anywheres on the net...swear to begeez the only place youll be able to gaze at this is my site...rare man...my site...the one i spent hours formulating...youve to spend time here if you want to drool over this!"

#2 "i obtained copyright permission for these items; therefore i am obligated by law to disallow access"

#3 direct linking; whereby the original site holder carries the "weight" of the item and someone else links to the item enjoying the benefits of the picture on their site without having to host the size on thier server. if that makes any sense

anyways...brainiacs like me know how to disable disable right-click

THere are ways to save the pics..

try clicking both the left and right mouse at the same time really fast and usually the pop up will come up and you can save.

Pretty easy to get around that problem if you use firefox , just use one of the integrated downloadmanagers.

[JazmenFlowers]

yeah...you can save them. that's what I'm saying...why it's so funny. especially if you have a Mac, you can save just about anything. it's just annoying.

I agree completely with this rant. On another band's board, there was this girl(who was my friend), who was completely obsessed with this band. She had her own fan site, too. Well, she posted a bunch of pics on the band's official site. One pic was a really funny one, and she had the right click disabled, too. So ALL I posted was, "damned unsavable pics", WITH a , and she came UNGLUED!, PMing me that "how dare I post that?, and it's as if you're DARING everyone out there to TRY and steal my pics!"."Remove your post now!". "I am DONE with you!".
I explained (tried) that it was a funny pic, and that's what fans DO, is share. She wasn't hearing any of it, and remained unglued! More than a tad psycho, IMO.
Folks, if you don't want to share your pics, then don't even bother posting them. Perhaps they should be kept in some dark place, where the sun don't shine!

I guess I can't understand- #1- being sooo possessive of some band pics, and - #2-, if I WAS so possessive, why I'd ever publicly post them, to begin with. Oh well......life goes on.

That is hurtful. She probably doesn't have many friends.

Paste is Ctrl+V. I hate when you try to do screencaps on videos and Print Screen doesn't work.

[Enchanted_Stevi]
