ahh.. pretty slick. One of those "why didn't I think of that" things.

Sure people can find a work around but it'll slow things down to become a complete pain in the ass.

**Fletch XXX** · 05-31-2004, 05:02 PM

i can right click save as images on that page.

i dont understand are you folks not able to?

I am.

**Aquarius** · 05-31-2004, 05:02 PM

wow, I've never seen this before. Interesting for sure.

**Fletch XXX** · 05-31-2004, 05:03 PM

ah I get it now, but other images on the site download fine.

good trick.

have seen it before,...

I can download the pics as well, but when you open them it only shows a white dot instead of the actual pic.

If they encrypted the html it would really work

**cherrylula** · 05-31-2004, 05:05 PM

I have put images in a table background and then slap a clear gif over it, not sure if this is the same method.

And actually its cool if you put your url on the clear gif, over the pic too.

**Tempest** · 05-31-2004, 05:06 PM

Awesome.

**cj_purve** · 05-31-2004, 06:09 PM

Good to see the thieves job being made harder even though it can't be stopped entirely ... yet.

**Jer** · 05-31-2004, 06:19 PM

Much better than that lame Java Script some sites uses

**Jer** · 05-31-2004, 06:21 PM

Don't you love simple ideas?

**SoundMan** · 05-31-2004, 06:23 PM

You could brand pics that aren't your own without actually breaking any laws. Bwahahahah.

**alan-l** · 05-31-2004, 06:31 PM

fucking great

Plus, easy to do with some SSI or CGI.

(turning back and shouting) Hey slaves, I've work for you!!

**wyldblyss** · 05-31-2004, 06:35 PM

What a great idea and simple once someone tells you how it's done. Damn, it is so simply I'm surprised no one came across this before (I'm sure they have, just no one saw it)

**Face (o_0)** · 05-31-2004, 07:12 PM

all you have to do is view source? no?

it's meant for protection against average surfer. get the point now?

**Ash@phpFX** · 05-31-2004, 07:22 PM

nice little trick, if anyone really wants to get around it they can, but it would stop 95% of people

**NaughtyJenn** · 05-31-2004, 07:23 PM

very cool trick/idea ...

BV · 05-31-2004, 07:30 PM

might keep a member from joining a site if they think all your images are like that

**smokingdawn** · 05-31-2004, 08:30 PM

**Ar3s** · 05-31-2004, 08:55 PM

ROFL

**andi_germany** · 05-31-2004, 09:35 PM

Some things never stop to amaze me.

I have first used this trick back in 98 and I am amazed how many people have never seen this done. I should have patented it

(No it was not my idea)

**maxdaname** · 05-31-2004, 09:51 PM
