is there no way that this site can block people from copy and pasting pics???? we have had the misfortune of my my ex getting somebody to set up a profile and finding out who we have met and when,further more they have made copies of some of the pics we have,hence now they are all in pvt our friends are hiden and we have hiden our verifications.

the down side to this is that couples who want to meet us want proof,up to now we have had no problem,with sending pics or showing our verifications,just makes it harder now to know who is genuine and who isnt?????

Answer from Admin which can be found in the very useful FAQ section of the site follows -

"Why don't you right-click protect our photos to stop others stealing / saving them?

We believe in being straighforward with the members of Fab. Right click protect doesn't work and gives a false sense of security by pretending to "protect" images. Other sites may pretend they've protected your images but actually they're being dishonest by claiming that.

Right click "protect" can be gotten around in under 2 seconds by any of the following methods:

Simplest: Goto File menu, Save As, and save to desktop = The photos will be in a folder on your desktop that your browser has created.

OR... Disable JavaScript by going to Tools menu, choose Internet Options, Click the Security tab, click Custom Level, scroll to the "Scripting" section of the list and click Disable. Right click can now be used to save images.

OR... Press print screen and the image + page will be copied to clipboard where it can be pasted into a graphics program for resize or save.

We give you three privacy options on your photos and we now hide images from anyone who isn't a member of Fab. If you are worried about someone stealing your photos you may want to set them to be viewable only by your friends, or private in which case you can send by private mail.

We also now watermark all photos upon upload."

To sum all that up - Right clicking isn't the only way of other folk getting hold of your pics from here or from any other site you upload them to.
