Just wondering... I use a free script on my website for this but just today I thought of trying to edit one of my poems and adding this feature, but I cannot... is there some option or way to do something like this? Cara-Mae

not on this site. Renderosity doesn't support this type of activity, but they don't support any blocking either. btw, if javascript is not enabled on the viewers browser that script doesn't work either. since I don't allow javascript on my browser I could download from your site with right clicking even with that script on the site. there is no foolproof way to stop it from happening, as the net is designed to freely share information. keeping something proprietery online is contrary to the designed intent. there are server side means to restrict duplication/ downloading, which are harder to beat than disabling javascript. they require the server to be configured differently to work and a lot of hosts won't do this unless you are paying for your own machine.

I am very happy with Renderosity's support of the open Internet. I also reject the "free speech, free capital" view that if I don't agree with your speech I can trap you into an error or accident. Now with no buttons for my viewers to vote or choose favorites I say farewell it seems to some services. It's been a good almost 5 years. I take the "whatever makes me an honest man" school of response to false charges. Mob disability is a human right not to be taken softly. (I never said there were any charges pending nor did I imply I was anticipating taking any illegal measures.)

Javascript is not permitted in the forums or galleries. At least it's not supposed to be. You could post this in the Community Center forum and ask the the programmers add this feature to the site. Just make a good case and ignore the flames.

I am not overly worried about it, I just was surprised that there wasn't something in the coding of the site to disallow that sort of thing... I know jack about html and such but I've known ppl to have disabled the ability to right-click on their websites to protect there artwork and with the number of members here, as I say, I find it surprising. cara

Disabled right click is worthless anyways, next time you see it on an image, try just dragging the image from the web page to your desk top. Anyone can just check the source for the image also. If they want it, disabling right click won't stop them. It'll just annoy other people trying to use it to reload, or go back or add the page to their favorites.
