What's up with the 'right-click' ???

kygarden

I used to be able to right-click on an image and copy the image location so I could use that for posting in threads to show the image. Now when I right-click in either IE or Firefox, it just goes back to the normal gallery view as if I left-clicked on it Yes, I know there's a way to click on a link if you have your gallery set a certain way so you get a web page with the links all posted...but that's not how I have my gallery setup.

What's up?

P.S. I mean I was able to click on the picture to view it as the size I wanted (large, original, small, whatever)...then right-click on it there to get the right link for the size I wanted)

Hi,

I can explain much easier if you give a direct link to gallery and photo where you are experiencing this behavior, thanks

Try this one. Any image on that page. I tried to open an image and change it to large size...then right click to get the link for that. It used to work...only a few days ago. Now it just goes back to the gallery like I left clicked...

A bit of info I should have asked for:

What browser please?

And, what viewing style?

If you are in SmugMug or SmugMug small style, one click on the main image and you'll get LightBox. One click on the image in LightBox and you'll be returned to the page. Right clicking should work in Lightbox, it's a fix we're making shortly.

You can see the Large version of your images by clicking on the L size underneath the photo:

and from there, one more left click puts the original on your page, with scroll bars. One more click after that, and the original will go into LightBox.

As a power user, you can even customize LightBox:

I posted a similar report here and JT said he's working on a fix. Apparently it only happens in some browsers (Firefox on windows) and it happened because some of the right-click protection code is too aggressive (e.g. it influences things when it's not turned on).

Thanks Andy. You're suggestions work fine for me. I'll use that method of clicking on the L below the image to get what I need.

I'm using Windows XP Pro with Internet Explorer AND Firefox. Didn't work with either browser.
