This is an attempt to prevent non members from taking our info and posting it on other forums. I know its not 100% effective but it should help. I did this because of the hot-linking that I have found.

See above for example of the thanks. the system will track how many thanks you leave and how many are left for you.

I do think you have reached the summit of paranoia here, keep going on you will have soon a very "Bushy" forum

In some forums that I visit frequently, you have to register to become a member before you can access the contents. Maybe we can consider that if we don't want non-member to take our info. Just my 2 cents~

Not sure I understand the first part of your post. Bill runs this forum with the best interest of it's members. So well that I choose to pay to participate.

It's the Elvis Presley counter. As in "thank you", thank you very much ladies and gentlemen".

BTW for you "tabbed browsers". Instead of rt. click - Open in new Tab. just drag the link to the tabs and a new one will appear.

also if you hold 'shift' while clicking on the link, it'll open in new window, hold 'ctrl' while clicking it'll open in new tab.

mtiede · 05-29-2007

Bill,

I think I have seen about this "rehosted" stuff before. I don't think they have to copy your stuff. They can just make a web page that has their headers and footers and then a link to yours in the middle without having to copy it. So I don't think you will stop that by stopping the right-clicking. But I see no particular reason to allow the right-click either...

I don't think you're allowed to thank yourself.

mtiede · 05-30-2007

Sounds like you have it covered...

**ghostdunks** · 05-31-2007

might be a stupid question..how do you actually "thank" someone? I can see the Thanks, and Thanked bit under the ID, but I found a post I wanted to thank, but can't find the option to thank anywhere. Think I'm going crazy!

watsons · 05-31-2007

There's a "Thanks" button

at the bottom right corner of each post, except your own posts. Just click the button to thanks somebody!
