Hi,

for an unlisted gallery, with "external links"=No is it possible as owner of the gallery to post photo external links in forums or blogs?

Is this correct ... if someone knows the links to one photo from my gallery he/she could scale the photo to what resolution they want, using XL, X2,X3 or O for original ?

Thanks

    No, if external links are set to No, the images can't be linked to by anybody. You also can't set the images to "[X] Hidden" in the gallery or external links won't work.

    The gallery can be unlisted (not shown to the general public) with external linking on and then you, the site owner who is able to view the gallery, can link to the images in a forum, blog, etc... for others to see. That's how I do all my forum postings.

    I don't want to activate the Share button but I also want an easy method to find the photo link, how can I do that.

    One way is to activate the Share button only when you are logged in. You can do that by adding this CSS:

    .notLoggedIn #shareButton {display:none;}

    and then turning on Easy Sharing. You will see the Share button when logged in, but none of your viewers will see it.
