preventing hotlinking and saving pictures

[ultramarineblue]

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to prevent hotlinking and saving pictures from your website? I remember hearing a couple of people say that it was pretty easy. I've looked into it some before but for whatever reason I've been unsuccessful.

What sort of page are you doing it on?

A blog or actual website or?

There's many scripts you can grab to do it.

It's an actual website. I use dreamweaver to write the code.

Scripts should work then.

Or I just found this tasty example, if you have the coding know how to pull it off.

Place your image within a table as a background with a clear gif over it will make it impossible to save the displayed image using the right-click > Save Picture As... function.

And that *does* work.

I don't know if I have the coding know how but it will definitely be worth a try. I do wish I knew more about this stuff. However, I don't know that I have the time that it would require to *really* know it.

The code I linked to in the first post there should just be a cut and paste job, so you don't really need to know it.

I think it says to drop it in at the end, right before your </body> tag.

Awesome. I'm hardheaded enough to try the clear gif thing too though. That is really interesting to me. I actually have a bit of a shot at figuring it out since it will entertain my mind.

The only problem I have with doing my website is that it's a bit tedious to update it. Adjust color, contrast, etc. Crop. Resize pic for individual page. Make pic smaller for thumbnail page. Edit the pages to include the pics. Also, the computer I have with the software is old and cranky. I'm saving to buy a new one though. It's definitely more fun when I'm learning how to do it than when it's repeating the same tasks over and over.

Thank you so much for your help.
