Some great discussions about smugmug features.

Given all the great info, I think simply linking with "hide owner" provides enough trouble for a casual snoop (thats probably unfamliar with smugmug) to not link back and browse all my other galleries.

It would be tough to prevent those with some technical savvy from finding the other galleries from a forum link, but this might work for the average forum reader. Think so, some minimun hurdle?

so a link like this:

Hi Eco,

Yes, that works just fine. The most people can do, is get back to the gallery, but then they are stuck. No way of finding out who it belongs to.

Because external linking to a password protected is allowed without supplying the password (something I don't think should be, but that's the way it works today)

It's not. It probably shows for you because the image is cached by your browser.

Cool, passwords block direct linking now

Hmm. It does now appear that you can't external link to something in a password protected gallery. I guess this was fixed at some point because I think it used to be a problem. Glad passwords protect all access now.
