NO NO NO! A thousand times NO! What's with the workarounds for right-clicking anyway. That's just stupid. Keyboard shortcuts with two-fingers PLUS a mouse click to do what we naturally do with one? Make it less and less convenient to browse the galleries and you'll have ... tada fewer browsers. You'll also have angry browsers. Saving an image to disk IS NOT THEFT. Mass hysteria from the few who are going around hunting down stolen images and making a big stink. Why didn't you ask EVERYONE who posts to the galleries before implementing this? I cannot see ONE reason why this is a good idea. AND it would also be stupid make it an option. You know why? It will actually invite theft of the images that allow right-click. Think it through.
