  There is another added bonus that I think many people have neglected to see in their anger/surprise over the change.  One of the bigger beefs I have seen here is the perv element, how people just troll the profiles looking at nude pics.  Now that there is a charge to view pics it will add a discouragement for the prevs not to come here, as there are many free sites out there to view nude forms.  Furthermore, it is an added security feature to protect your nude pics.  Another major concern is people's nude pics can be taken and start floating around the net.   Since most pervs do not pay for their pleasures, if your first 5 pics uploaded are non-nude there is less of a chance some perv is going to take your pics.  Just another way to look at it.

  [quote][quote][quote]Steve, The pics can still be copied.  I'd be happy to copy any of yours and send them to you.  If you can see it on the screen, you can copy them.[/quote]       Go ahead and try....using 'save picture as," and the 'copy' commands, save a clear frame to file, when you go to open it up, nothing there....  [/quote] I copied and sent you the mushroom pic.  If it can be seen, it can be copied.  And it doesn't take a geek to do it.  But it only takes one person to do it and spread them all over the internet should they choose.  So don't be uberhappy about the disabling of the right-click option.  The other method only took me about three seconds longer to accomplish.[/quote]   For crying out loud Jim and Steve. Curt please don't jump on this bandwagon. The fact of the matter is that TT1 listened to us....many members asked for a right click disable and he gave it to us. Many members asked for a better way to scroll through pictures and he gave it to us.  TT1 does listen to the members here and take into consideration the features they would like.  It may take a little longer than we would like sometimes (patience - we all need to learn patience) but it does get done!  You don't find that at most of the other sites.   Okay - so does disabling the right click make everyone's pics completely safe? No, of course it doesn't. Any one with half a brain knows that.  It does, however, make it that much more difficult.  For all you computer nerds and geeks out there - the fact of the matter is that the majority of john q. public are NOT that computer savvy and when you announce to them that there are still ways to get around it - (I've even seem some geeks here who actually spell it out for them just to prove a point)  Then you encourage them to find those other methods.   So thank you TT1 for listening to us and adding a feature that many of us have requested.  For any one who cares if their pictures are safe - this feature makes it more difficult, but not impossible.  You still need to use caution posting pics that you don't want to find any where else if you are someone who has concerns about that.    Jen

  [quote]Nothing is foolproof.  Never underestimate the ingenuity of fools.  But TT has gone a long way to improve the site.  There's still a couple of GLARING mistakes that need to be corrected:  A safer and more reliable payment company than AlertPay, and more payment options.  Hopefully those fixes are in the works. Jen, it serves no purpose for people to think their pics are now safe, when they aren't.  That's just full disclosure.  The average John Q. Public is getting more and more computer savvy everyday, and the ones who specialize in spreading pics around the internet are fully versed in the "how-to."  There is no harm in members being made aware of this.  The safety of the members come before the health of the site.   When all the other issues are fixed, we will repost our pics, but members should never think that their pics cannot be copied, and it should never be announced that way.[/quote]     Pointverywell taken.  Thank you, Rabbit.  And thank you TT1 for adding a feature that many here have asked for that makes itslightlymore difficult to copy pics.   Jen

  I'm not a computer geek. My photo editing software allows screen captures. I can copy anything that appears on screen. TT1 may be listening but when he disables right click,  he's listening to people that don't know for what they are asking. The only thing that accomplishes is an inconvenience to those of us that like opening new windows. I personally think he should have started cutting costs by eliminating the gallery then charge for the cam chat feature.

  Well, I have closed my account at PayPal because I have no need to do business with a bunch of
  filthy-minded morons.  And I told them they were dirty-minded for having terminated service with
  this site.  If we all closed our accounts with PayPal, it might get them to sit up and take notice... So tell your nudist friends
  to consider closing their accounts too, if they have any.

You come up with some good ideas and I enjoy reading your posts.    Phil, you are very clever.  You know what I'm talking aboutTT1, thank you for taking the time to read through all our stuff and nonsense, take into consideration what we all have to say and glean the ideas that might work.   Jen

  lol...Yeah Curt, I'd be screwed if they made me pay to use the forums.
  
  One idea I wish they would consider is charging for use/viewing cams in the chatroom.  That feature, while I love it, causes more problems than it's worth sometimes and if people were forced to pay for the privlege, maybe everybody involved would respect it a bit more.  Besides, it would also address his concerns about bandwith, as I imagine webcams eat up way more than pics do.

  At the risk of sounding like an idiot, which is pretty easy for me to do, I'd like to make just 3 points. First, I haven't read all the postings on this topic before making this post. Secondly, if this site is gotten to the point where I have to pay a fee to see pics of people, so be it. And last but not least, if  I am only here to to gawk at other peoples pics, I don't feel that I should have to pay to see all of my own pics on this site when the owner of this site cannot bare the common decency to post his or her own pic.

  A case in point about the ning sites is that when I went to join one, I didn't have to upload a profile pic. It offered to set the pic I had as a profle pic on another site as my profile pic.
  I may be wrong but I do belong many Ning sites and have different profile pics.  What I have noticed is that when I first put in my Yahoo email address it pulls my Yahoo profile pic into the site.  You may want to check that out.
