And yes, feeds also will circumnavigate the right-click protection... BUT ONLY FOR A THUMBNAIL Sized photo ... so that should be absolutely no problem.
Actually, this is not true. Feeds have full links to the larger sizes of your photos in them too. It so happens that some apps that display feeds only display the thumbnail, but others display a larger (non-right-click-protected) image. And, the direct link URLs are in the feeds.
Right-click-protection is simply not decent protection from anyone other than a total internet newbie. It can be bypassed in seconds.
Thanks Andy - when I refreshed my browser, it changed, that seems to be the "save" button before it takes effect.
I don't want the feeds on either, having same problem there. Can you check that also please Andy.
Securite / iphone?
Andy, I know this is a long shot, but I have strong suspicion that my sales are down due to the fact that a lot of would be customers/users (which by the way are school kids) have had a possible way of either downloading my pics or gotten hold of them somehow which resulted in no orders from them. I have google stats, and can see that a lot of those galleries were viewed many times over and over, but never one sale. Is there anyway possible tofind out which galleries were downloaded from, or some or other geek method of "stealing"?
I know you have biger fish to fry, but thought I'd ask anyways.

do you block originals and the larger sizes? Do you have a watermark?
I have not worked with feeds EVER - except when subscribing to Smug feeds recently, which is pretty cool. I guess I want them turned off, as my wife and I are working our behinds flat, and do not see the results we were hoping for, and also, want to any "unknown" method of viewing my pics the way I intend them to be viewed.
I am sure you are going to say " still crazy" right?
In a nutshell.. & without holding you responsible for anything - are there any "security threats" with feeds. If not, then I guess I will start using it. Never too old to learn.
As others have reported, I too was having difficulty setting the iPhone option to disabled using IE8. I would click disabled, but when I came back to the page the enabled radio button would be checked. After several attempts, I tried it in Firefox and it worked on the first try. Perhaps a compatibility issue with IE8 that needs attention.
How?
What does "disabled" mean then?
This iphone was on the site for 4h and 20 minutes
The option doesn't prevent an iPhone from viewing your site, only from accessing the "backdoor" version (http://yoursite.smugmug.com/iphone) which disables all of your customization.

Ha thanks. I just tried and it shows as if it was seen from a normal computer, still usable.

I was interested to see that this particular visitor from the UK spent quite a bit of time yesterday on your site. The same iphone user spent over an hour yesterday checking everything on my site (again). Don't know what he is up to, but I've been uneasy about his motives and seeing that you (and probably many others) are having the same level of visitation (probing?) does not make me feel any better.
Any informed speculation about this UK user's intentions?

When you have public galleries, why are you "uneasy" about having someone view them? It sounds like maybe you don't want your galleries to be public.

I think it was the same one (same location, I would have to find the file to be sure) that made me disable iphones as he was going through every single galleries that did not have a password, unlisted and all. It is not the first time. That was why I googled and found the old thread showing the bug.

You cannot prevent iPhones from visiting your regular site - at that point it's just an internet browser (mobile safari) and to exclude one browser is ridiculous. What you are preventing is iPhone users from seeing a special "iPhone version" of your site that has none of your customization, including customization intended to hide certain galleries from most visitors.

Yes I have watermarks, and largest size is "large".

First, thanks for the option to disable RSS.
Second, I don't completely disagree with you but because its an all or nothing option I need to disable it.
Maybe v2 could be a gallery level setting whether or not to publish in the feeds instead of one global setting.
