[thelist] IE6 problem

even if you disable view source what does that do?

All the images are safely stored in a nice little directory called temporary
internet files!  No need to download them by right clicking they are
automatically downloaded for you courtesy of the website visited :)

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

It's obviously a temporary setting just within META data, so hurray for Trev
who gets to stop NOOBS from right clicking and taking his image and hurray
to us for not having our browser settings changed. Oh and hurray for print
screen, view source/image url and of course "File > Save As".

In my opinion a wasted effort Trev, however maybe a valid one? I think a
good discussion point would be what drives people to publish content on the
Internet when it's so easy for people to steal it? Beats me!

Whatever your compulsions, if you mess around with my browser
settings, I would hate your site and never visit it again.

Plus, if I really wanted to steal your images, I have a "Print Screen"
key on my keyboard besides having a really nifty screen-capturing
utility.
