Forum posts being stolen?

OK, i just looked harder and found some of my shots. The whole forum seems pointless though, it's probably just meant to p*** us off.

The whole point of the forum is "file sharing". The photography section is actually pretty small compared to all the movies, music, and software they have on there.

it just copies all the threads and makes user names up, if you go to the oldest post it started on 17-12-08

K, that was a D40 so there went that theory.

So far I have been Texas Kid (which I kind of like) and John, which I don't.

css won't be able to do anything, since only the .jpeg is being loaded from the webserver. css is something additional that gets called by a html file or html generated by a script. I'm suprised that smugmug allows hotlinking to begin with.

Yeah, our IT guy here, was able to hack into Smugmug and take out one of my original files, even tho I have that right click protection. They used something called Firebug. I will be going in there tonight, and minimizing all my file sizes. That is one reason I only post low res stuff here.
The only reason I use Smugmug is I havent got a sheeit of computer knowledge, and it is pretty user friendly. I built my site on my own. :lol:

BTW...thanks for catching this too.

I've started to limit all my stuff to 600 at the widest. If somebody steals a low res image, well so be it.

I will be doing that tonight. On Smugmug, you have the options of small, med, large, x large original...and so on. Since I was selling some stuff, my original size was available. I was told that if I only allow Medium, and below, they are usless to anyone, but ok for viewing...which is 600 wide.

Gheesh....what a fiascal... :lol:

I gotta get back to my crypt soon...this is way too confusing up here. :er:

I signed up over there (Texas) to protect the valued name of Ken Rockwell.

Also, I am going to be sending a photographic message to the powers that be over there that isn't appropriate for me to do from my office at work, so that will come later.

A lot of your stuff is posted in the beginner's forums. I don't see those copied over there (unless I'm looking in the wrong place).

Thanks, rufus... It would appear that my alter-ego, free, is a senior member over there.. Wow, over 600 posts.. I've been busy.. I guess those post counts must just be random, huh?

I also post only from PhotoBucket.. Is it only Flick'r content being mirrored?
