Disable right click for photographs?

Is there any way to prevent photos from being copied and saved from this site? I know when I blogged on another site there was a code that was title "disable right click" and you couldn't save the photo....

It's a shot in the dark and an odd question...but anyhooo..

Nah, it was just a thought because of a certain banned member who keeps on creating myspace  profiles  with photos taken from someone here.

Without doing some sort of javascript on the post, which for most members is filtered, probably not..
But even if you DID disable the right-click, it's still easy to grab screenshots of anything on your screen - so if you can see it, you can capture it (with the exception of certain types of overlaid video)..

My rule of thumb is don't post anything anywhere that you would not want anyone to see.. Even though TheGuG is full of 99.9999999% great members, you never know who else is lurking - that's part of the joy and excitement of the internet..

If you have photos here at TheGuG that you would like removed, just email me the URL's and i'll be happy to eradicate them.
