this is what I wrote on the thread to the mods... Congrats to the Mods for trying this. not an effective option but thanks you for thinking of us! My suggestion is to those posting. Save your images to no more quality than is absolutely needed to show your talant. Keep size to a minimum. Make your image small enough on screen so that its not practical for someone to steal it. That will go farther than anything the mods can do. They can impliment tons of coding protocals and if someone REALLY wants it, they will get it. Making it inconvienent is only going to stop the lazy theives. No matter how much we complain or explain how this may or may not work, the mods are working FOR US and trying to help resolve the issue. For that they should be applauded. Thank you. Magick Michael
