Anyone Can get Into my Private Gallery

kris10

I use my private gallery to hold things that I use for my website and for other sites I post stuff at. Today, I posted a smiley face that I put in my private gallery to go in a signature box and when you click on it, it takes people to that image at my site with just the sizes listed at the top. If they click on the image however, it puts them right into my private gallery. Is there a way to keep this from happening? I think that if I password protect it, it's not going to allow my images to show up where I post them.

If you use the photo link they can't get to the gallery.

Got a link to where you are using it?

Also use 'hide owner'

http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2720246

And then when you share a link, it'll look like this:

AH! Thanks guys!

I had just right clicked on my image at my page and did a copy and paste on it. Somehow it took a hyperlink to the page I pasted it on. I was able to delete it in the code side and get rid of the link so it's working now but it's good to know this for the future.
