as a result of this, i have disabled the ability to right click. i am also going to look for a watermarking program so i can stamp everything. means a pile of work re-uploading every photo, but worth it to protect the hours spent taking the photos in the first place and then the 3 years or so spent working on this site.
sucks that such action has to be taken, but such is life. even in the world of thomas and friends, people dont know how to ask nicely.
