Hi,

thank you for all your help. I took the plunge last night and hit the publish button. Would you be able to tell me how to lock the galleries and unlock the galleries as I need to. I know on legacy I would simply go to settings under the gallery and click on a copyright/download button to stop downloading. I can not seem to find where to go at present.

Also, would love to hear your thoughts on my site.

    I don't know what you mean by "lock and unlock galleries". Can you explain what you are trying to do?

    Are you aware that your logo overlaps the gallery description and the thumbnails in the upper left of the browser window if the browser window is smaller than a 13" screen? I notice this immediately because I don't usually have the browser window taking up the entire screen. You might want to take a look at your site using http://quirktools.com/screenfly.

    right click lock
    Sorry, did not explain very clearly. The thing I am after is where I can stop "right click" downloading of images.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Best way is to go to ORGANIZE > Select the folder with the galleries you want to "lock" / "unlock" (you can select multiple galleries from the same folder at once), select SETTINGS > SECURITY AND PRIVACY, check the option "RIGHT-CLICK PROTECTION" > ON, select "SAVE".

    BTW: This is not really a "RIGHT-CLICK PROTECTION", it is just a RIGHT-CLICK MESSAGE, because if someone has the photo on the screen he can always get the photo from the browser cache. That means it is just not that easy to get the photo downloaded but it is still possible.

    EDIT: And since you allow to view the original size i am able to "download" the original sized photo using my browser cache just because i can open the original size in the lightbox. If you don't want users to see the original sized photo use ORGANIZE again and change "MAX DISPLAY SIZE" to something else then "ORIGINAL".

    Hi,

    thank you for your comment. I have checked it out and see what you mean.
    Would you suggest making my name smaller or is there a way to change it so this does not happen.

    regards
