I just hate when some "smart ass" developers think that other people are stupid by "protecting" their content with disabling "right click menu" or putting transparent image on top of real one. :doh:
I was surprised to see last "trick" on Flickr free account, like this one.
So, how to save a picture you like in that case? Opera's Block Content feature created for such purpose — to fight stupidity on the World Wild Web. 😉
Solution for Opera users:
- do right mouse click somewhere on a page (not on an image);
- select "Block content…" from opened context menu;
- press Shift key and click on an image
- click Done on Block content toolbar (some image like http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceball.gif will be blocked now);
- now you can save real images on any Flikr pages
:headbang:
thanks for your post, i have use and download many free online
I had a similar trick. I went to the source of the page and looked for “space”. A few lines further, you could find the direct URL to the picture. But wait, it’s getting better. The url the the picture of the bee is: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/104/311008940_f14ab45fb8.jpg?v=0 . Delete the ?v=0 and try to add a _b or _o befor de .jpg. By doing this, you have the high resolution version of the picture. So you get: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/104/311008940_f14ab45fb8_o.jpg
ha. never thought on doing this. thanks.
it cn also be done by pasting the page url into search bar inFile2HD.comselecting images buttonchoosing the links starting with farm5/6/7.static.flikrvoila!:yes:
