    If you have your site passworded, the feeds shouldn't work. I just tested on one of my sites and all I had was a dead link.

    Could you email the details to the help desk, we'll take a look for you: http://www.smugmug.com/help/emailreal

    I guess this brings up another question. I've not been keeping up on the whole RSS thing since I don't use it...but could what was described happening to the person making this post happen to everyone else (photos somehow being copied/snatched) for a non-password protected gallery? I mean, even galleries that are "right-click" protected with "external links allowed?" turned off? Guess I'd just like a little more info on what's happening with RSS and photos being copied and how it happens...so I can avoid that myself if possible.

    Thanks

    You can't. I've asked for that option a couple times, as well as blocking the iPhone interface since it ignores all of my CSS customization.

    The general impression I've gotten is that SM isn't interested in giving us these as separate options. If you want your site blocked from RSS and iPhone the only option is to password protect it. rolleyes1.gif

    If your entire site is password protected that shouldn't be possible, unless he has the password to view your site (or worse, your login info).

    Yeah, first thing I would do if I suspect my account is hacked is change the pw to something TOTALLY strange and see if that helps.

    I won't sell out even if the whole world think's I'm crazy.
