Right Click when hotlinking

Flaminbird

I searched in the help and then on this boar but couldn't find an answer. I have all my galleries protected with the "right click" option but tha doesn't see to work when hotlinking the photos elsewhere. Is there a way to make the right click work so people can't save the photos when posted outside of the smugmug site?

TIA

There isn't. And if people want to - even with right click protection on in smug - they can grab your images from their computer. Right click protection isn't really protection.
