Author Topic: [UPDATE] Right-click Disabling (Read 3763 times)

So some of you have noticed I disabled right-click on the forum recently. The good news is that it's back but I did continue to disable right-click for images. It's not that I'm afraid of you guys downloading images on here but recently Photobucket disabled my image share until the next month because I used up 10 GB of bandwidth within half a month. This wouldn't be surprising had my storage space been mostly filled but I had less than 10% of my storage filled and it was saying this. The only thing I can assume from this is that people have been hotlinking to the images on here and draining my bandwidth. I already spent a couple of hours moving and replacing images because of this and I'm still no where close to done so I had no choice but to disable right-click but it doesn't give me much joy to do that to all of you so I re-enabled most of it.

I don't like pointing fingers but I need to get this out there for the benefit of this site and all the members using it. Please be considerate and don't hotlink to the images on this site. There is limited bandwidth and if everyone hotlinks to the images on here no one can see anything once the images are disabled. Thank you.

It is annoying when people do that but bandwidth will also be used whenever anyone loads that particular topic.

Anyway the reason why I'm replying is: Try http://postimage.org/ who have no bandwidth limits :) (In the past I would have recced TinyPic but they're now owned by Photobucket >_> ) The other option is http://imageshack.us/ but they keep changing whether their bandwidth is unlimited or not so much it gives me a headache trying to keep up.

Yea I understand that bandwidth gets sucked up every time people open it but~~~ its never been a problem before it was just so sudden. Right now I'm using Picasa and I switched most of my images over but it's too much work to switch the CGs over. Maybe when I get more time I will do that.
