Right click disabling

ccpickre

Is the right click option disabled across the board, or do you have to turn it off?

Because if it's the second, I'm not sure I have the option in my accoun tto turn it off, my dad even helped me And if he can't find it, then there's something wrong :thumb

Anyway, if I'm missing something, it wouldn't be the first time, but I would like to protect my pictures.

You have to turn it off. Right-click protection is a feature of professional accounts. Here's a list of the features for the different account types: http://www.smugmug.com/price/.

Unless I'm mistaken, I thought I had a pro. I could be wrong though

Just remember, it's not a "protection", it just disables the ability to save an image from a right-click. Whoever views any image on the Web, has a copy of it in the browser cache on their harddisk and it's fairly trivial to retrieve it from the cache.

True - and it only prevents the right-click save when the photo is displayed in SmugMug. It does not stop the save if you allow external references and your photo is shown (using an <*img src statement) in another web site.

Look in the account settings box on your control panel - that indicates the type of account that you currently have.

And where in account settings does it say this?

When you open your control panel, the second "box" shows account settings. And the very first entry in that box is titled "Account type". That will show either Basic or Power or Pro.

Only Pro allows you to disable right click save.

And if it doesn't say this in my account settings, how do I find out?

Chris, your account is a pro account.

OK, thanks.

Then how do I disable right click saving, cause my dad was helping me set everything up, and it doesn't show me the setting to turn it off (nor does it show me the account type apparently).

Sorry if I sound so green

I should be good for now. Strangely enough, those options have now shown up in the customize section

And now that I THINK I have my computer calibrated properly (not sure, because some photos looks, odd, although this could just be because they were taken with a cheap point and shoot digital camera ) I will be working on reeditting and uploading my photos.

I have a busy week this week
