Hi, there is no way ho to stop people to donwload or display images. If the image is displayed, it can be downloaded. Javascript stop right click is not a solution as you can disable javascript in one second :(

I agree with Jan ...there is no 100% fool proof way to protect the images.

But at least we could have some kind of protection like able to put watermark on large pictures (putting watermark on thumbs doesnt really making sense).

& If right-clicking is disabled as well...then it is another level of protection making 'normal' people harder to 'steal' the photos..

Thanks.

Hi all,

That´s absolutely right, but with a small plugin called "Ban Right Click" you are able to make it not so comfortable to a thief.
Kind regards,
Benno
