testing photos........

[Edwina's Secretary]

Phred,

I was signed in and "denied permission to right click." I THINK I was polite??? Here's verbatim their response....

"Due to properitary images that are on our site, we no longer allow users to right click to save photos to their album. Please email us with the photos you wish to save to your hard drive and we'll email you links to allow you to do so.

Thank you,

Well, uhhhm, I really have never used one of those websites that store photos for you, but I have myself encountered quite many of those sites that will "forbid" right-clicking. There is a very simple way around it, but I don't know if it'll work on these image hosters...

Try this:

Go to the page where you can see all your images (if that is possible even), and then click SHOW on your browser's windown (if you are using Internet Explorer that is) and then SOURCE (second to last on the list). Then you will get up a window (will probably open in Notepad) with the site's source code. Skim through all the HTML code until you find the area with the URLs to the images (will look something like http://www.imagehostersurl.com/mypics/mycat.jpg) and copy the URL and paste them in your IE window and you should be able to right click it no problem.

I don't know if your area with your images is protected by a password that you made up, but if it isn't then you can give me the URL to it and I can see if I can save them for you if you can't figure it out on your own.

Hope that helps!!

Ann! This is the URL I managed to get from one of my pics in Photogra. (was not allowed to right click either, so I went to source and copied the adress) I know it looks wrong, but can you tell me what it is?

[sirocco]

Hello, Randi! I've just tried with the URL you provide (which is NOT wrong!! ) but it doesn't work as the site still asks for a username and password to access the file. This is the part of the URL that identifies your pic's location (but indeed it is not a location in the sense a URL is, it is a command):

http://www.photogra.com/index.cfm?p=...ImageID=118691

and the rest are more commands to the same script that locates and shows the picture:
&RETURNTO=viewphoto&StartRow=1&kw=&pg=NO&d=1

That's why it isn't so easy to perform Ann's instructions - they use a software called Coldfusion to manage the pictures and the whole site (I know because my job is, partly, webmaster and we use the same software here ), and I think nothing else can be done in that way

BUT another thing you could try to retrieve your picture is open the page (introducing username and password) and once you can see it on your browser, press 'Prt SC' key. That copies the whole screen. Then you can open any software you use to see/treat images, open a new file and then select Edit -> Paste (or just press keys Ctrl - V). Then you can crop the photo and paste it into another new (blank) file, and there you are!
Well, I know this is a stupid and irksome thing to do to retrieve your own photos - but it's the only thing I can think of now! Ah, and sorry for the detailed explanation... it's because part of my current job is HELPDESK

I hope it was helpful... at least you know now that Your URL wasn't wrong!!

*grins at sirocco* If they couldn't do that view source thing I told them bout, I was gonna say that print screen tip Great minds think alike (or something like that)

It still baffles me that there is a program out there that can prevent right clicking along with viewing source, but I won't be able to check it out since I don't have an account of my own or know someone elses info.

Well, I hope everyone manages to figure it out... I know I'd hate to loose my photos!

Teancity pays off



But, regrettably, I'm still not there yet. I can only post one photo. Every attempt to post another (in a separate reply) gets me this same photo. (It is cute, but not that cute!)

AWWWWW

[AmberLee]

Edwina is STUNNING in that hat. (Sure wish I looked as good in them! hee, hee, hee!)

Congratulations on a baby step of progress! Keep a going!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Are you sure it's not called CONFUSION!!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help - but I think I need the last bit to make it work. LOL! I managed to get a picture into Photo Editor by using Print Screen - I even got the size andd colors right, but, from there I can't figure out how to get it on to PT. There's no URL to copy. I tried to copy the picture in Photo Editor, but I cannot paste that into PT by using IMG. so this is where it stands!

Edwina! What a precious picture!!
