Great - so what on earth is the point of using my Renderosity gallery URL on my other website presence/s for the general public to view my work ? People DO NOT LIKE using a link then being expected to login !!! THIS WILL ACTUALLY PUT PEOPLE OFF VISITING ANY OF MY SITES OR VIEWING MY WORK. Now I'd have to put up a link URL for every single image in my gallery ???? Also if I remember correctly, won't the link for an individual image change every time I add a new one to my gallery making that idea useless anyway ? There is a simple solution: Add a routine to allow people to login as "Guest" with a run-time generated graphical password displayed for entry. This would solve the "leeching" problem but still allow the general public some sort of access as a guest - eg. to view artists' personal galleries :-)
