Right click question

ebwest

I did a search and couldn't quite find the answer. I know presently that only pro accounts have right click protection (I have a Power account). I don't know anything about programming, but is that such a difficult feature to institute on an account that it has to be on the pro account only?

After seeing all the great photos on Smugmug, I doubt seriously if anyone would want to steal any of mine, but I would like the option to protect them. Is there any plan to have right click protection available to other account levels?

Thanks

Andy

Hi eb,

We have to have a way to differentiate our different account levels. And image protection is typically a pro feature. So, that's where we have it on SmugMug.

I hope this helps!

Well, I was hoping to hear something different, but I can live with it.

Hi ebwest,

Just to add some additional comments.

Firstly, the right-click protection isn't the only method of protection smugmug uses when this option is enabled.

Secondly, the right click stuff isn't protection...it is only a deterrent. If someone wants your photo badly enough, they will get it and this code can be disabled easily.

Finally, if you search the forum, you might find the code you are looking

Cheers,

David
