Quote - Perhaps an innovative watermark that Rendo puts on images seen by non "Rendo" members....yes, I know if someone wants it without the watermark then they get a Rendo acct...but at least it would make things a bit more difficult.

Now this one is a good idea {they all are, but I really like this one}...but IIRC, don't non members to Rendo have to have a link from a member to see any of the galleries?...

Anyway,  you got my brain to going....Im thinking along the lines of some type of something that Rendo 'might' or might not be able to rig {no promises here, Im just thinking out loud right now LOL}...that could put an invisible or fairly transparent image over the top of all the images here to discourage theft...{now of course there would have to be the option to turn such a feature off for the members who prefer not to have this 'watermark' over their images}

I know places like Zazzle and so on do this...dont know if it would work here or not tho....after all, if someone wants an image bad enough, there are ways of getting it :sad: but we dont have to make it easy 😉

Let me run this by some of the staff..see what all we can do, or come up with....keep the ideas coming! 😄
