Hi,
I just joined forum after reading interesting pov's on using full screen.
I'm setting up a service for couples getting married...before marriage: all details of where, when, rsvp form, gift list, guestbook etc...; after marriage: guestbook, thank you page, streaming video clips and PHOTOGRAPHS...this is part of the reason I decided to use full screen when freinds and family log in to the Members Area to view private pages, video, photos etc.
There are two main concerns/reasons for me:
1. Security in general; (some couples I have spoken to put the privacy of there pages as paramount as to wether they would use the service) and, although I am no expert, I think along with a secure login application, using frames and going full screen will help in hiding as much unneeded info as possible.
2. Images; I know this is a huge topic and to all intents and purposes we will never be able to stop unauthorised copying/use of images (we put them up there and they've got to get onto the users machine to view them) but limiting the more obvious ways of getting their hands on them is a start. Feedback from photographers is that this is a big concern and they will watermark a copyright notice to stop this (after sales of images is a further source of income for them), simple and effective, but the whole point of my service is the presentation of video and photos for a quality enjoyable user experience, copyrighted images just ruin it for me/customers.
So am I right in saying that if they cannot right-click ("WHAT!!!" I hear you say, I know I hate it too! and I know you can disable js but one more level?), cannot go 'File>Save As', are the only options PrtScn, which would be virtually useless at 92dpi, or going to Temp Internet Files and finding them?
I take on board points about how annoying it is to come accross fs (and noR-click!) and will endeavour to have explanatory/warning notes to users as to why we use them (along with 'close window' on every page). IMHO it is a private members page so is somewhat different to general surfing the net. If I invited you in to my house I would ask you to take your shoes off...I'm rambling now, better sign off!
I look forward to getting shot down in flames both technically and ethically as it's the best way for me to learn!
If you want to visit site it is at http://www.webcastweddings.co.uk/index.htm , as I said it is under construction so main site is just structure, Members Area is about 50% done. Follow 'Members Area' (top right) at the moment uname=guest, pword=donna.
Sorry for such longwinded first post!
