Hi Bob,What do you mean "no matter which browser I initially secured the image from"?
Dave that may very well be the case on Flicker is they are downsizing to fit there preferred dimensions. I agree a lot of this is very confusing and frustrating. Totally understand security stuff and Flicker has been known as a major copyright infringement site, why I don't have a account there. I rather put my stuff on here as it is not so popular in numbers like Flicker.
In answer to the no right clicking all it takes is a java script to intercept and toss the event. Of course, all it takes to circumvent that is to view the html source, find the image url and just download it from that. OTOH folks do like to occasionally take the posted images and perform alternate processing on them, especially when the poster asked for help.Guy, yea, sort of what I wrote in my previous comments to Bob. Not sure what Flickr is doing with their sizing (or resizing). Problem as all of us know all too well is the copyright infringement issue as well as illegal lifting of images without prior authorization. One of the reasons I had to take down a website...even when no "right clicking" is instituted, was there were obviously ways some would get around this to "lift" images. When images of well know/recognized personalities are pulled off sites and later found in unauthorized product advertisements found in other parts of the world, a multitude of issues and problems develop quickly as you can imagine.
Regardless of the reasons or types of images, no ones likes their pics lifted and/or utilized without prior authorization, regardless of the intent. This is especially true of websites offer hosting services and then feel free to have access to use said images for profitabilty and personal gain with aquiring permission and providing adaquate compensation. That's why I'll tread slowly when it comes to storing select images for eventual posting, on Flickr.
I was just curious...although never foolproof, is there a reason it's difficult to implement "no right clicking" to copy or save images here on GETdpi and other hosting sites?

Bob, thanks for the explanation. Oh, absolutely no problem when someone grabs an image such as here on Getdpi, simply to post their attempts with alternate post processing and repost their attempts. Their good intentions are obvious.In answer to the no right clicking all it takes is a java script to intercept and toss the event.

(...) What I meant by ""no matter which browser I initially secured the image from"...in my posting in this thread yesterday, I was having certain issues with IE browser on my PC in both being able to select a Flickr image that was any larger than a posted 1200 pixel wide image as well as not being able to select the right click option of "Copy Image Address" (of one of my test images) so I could copy any image, but especially one 1600 pixel wide (or larger). Both options were non existant when I used IE. Since I have Safari on my PC (which I rarely use since its not optimized for a PC), and logged into my Flickr acc't from Safari instead of IE,, both these options were made available. Therefore only with Safari, not IE could I both capture the Image Address (with .jpg extention, which was impossible with IE) and also capture an image's address for an image larger than 1200 pixels wide.
I assume most Getdpi users are on Macs and using Safari, so those Mac/Safari users never noticed the issues I encountered with Flickr and IE on a PC. (...)
Hi Steen,
I see no problem using Internet Explorer (IE) for the purpose
In Flickr choose the file size you want to use ! >> right-click on the picture >> chose Properties >> mark and copy the URL address ending on .jpg
Thanks Uwe! Once I finish cleaning and reorganizing this particular PC and all associated hard drives, I might just do that. I already have a strange issue with IE that no one can solve. Every time it's loaded, within 4 seconds of doing anything with it, like beginning to type in a web address, it looses what is called "focus"...so that I have to click on the window a 2nd time to make it active again. Only with IE on this machine, no other browser does this.Just install Chrome on your machine.
Funny you should mention this. A few minutes right after my last post above, I started getting a strange message everytime I started entering a web address on IE. It was ligit and mentioned part of IE preference settings had become corrupt. I re-installed IE and that took care of that but I agree, timetable to install Chrome has been siginifcantly bumped up. I assume Chrome plays nice with a window's PC? Thanks!From my personal experience, IE is the gateway of malwarez. I would bump installing chrome to a higher priority It's the first thing I'd do on any computer.
I just removed Chrome from all our home computers running Windows. It's too much of a bloated resource hog - 3-15 GB disk space per user (plus temp files), every open tab uses 100-300 MB memory. So keep an eye on it. YMMV.>I assume Chrome plays nice with a window's PC?
Was first Windows only, so I think it should be fine.
I heard sort of the same thing and thats why I have been in a holding pattern regarding loading it. I'm trying to learn more and get some additonal opinions.

If you want to keep a closer look, use Task Manager to see how much memory Chrome uses. No big deal unless you keep a zillion tabs open.I heard sort of the same thing and thats why I have been in a holding pattern regarding loading it.
