Unique Right Click Warnings

richW

I ran across this funny right click warning today. I’m just glad I live far enough away he can’t reach me.
Take a guess who’s it is. Is there any other good ones out there?

I’ll let the owner reveal himself if he wants too…

You won't believe what warning comes up when one right clicks your saved image of their right click warning message! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I saw this one on a smug site with wildlife photos:

"Now, now, no poaching! All photos are property of ......... All rights reserved. Unauthorized use is prohibited."

I’m just not sure if it’s legal to right click on a image of a right click warning regarding a copyrighted image. I stayed awake all night thinking the "Right Click" police were coming to my house.:D

I like that one. There's nothing wrong with a little humor....

I think the customizable right-click warning is great, I've got it turned on. But I don't word it to presume guilt.

That's because image stealing is not the only reason to right-click on an image. For example, if I go to Smugmug All Time Popular Photos and want to keep the page open while I pop open image #3 in a separate tab, one way to do that is to right-click, which causes the right-click warning to come up. In Firefox, the context menu also has the commands Open Link in New Window and Bookmark This Link.

The right-click menu can be very long. Future browsers may add more context menu commands that don't have anything to do with photo theft. It seems to be less visitor-hostile to word the right-click warning on the side of presuming innocence, while still wording it strongly for those who do not mean well.

Don't forget in FF if you have FXiF loaded, you right-click to getthe Properties window to see any EXIF on the image. That's the main reason for me to do it; any right-click-save-as is to grab a small image for idea reference only.

This is what you have:

RightClickWarning="Oh Hell no.. You didnt just try to steal my Photo..You have to buy one if you want one!";

the instructions call for a lower case "r" at the beginning.... which is why I suggested copy/paste

Change it, and you'll be all set....

zacker

cool it worked!! dont know why i had a cap there... hey just so's i know, why is it that the cap was killing it? just curious.. Thanks again Andy!!
