Why can't I right-click on the site?

[Matty_G33]

Is there any particular reason why I can here, but not on the actual site? It's gotten me quite curious.

[Leomon]

because that makes it harder to steal from the site.

[Matty_G33]

Okay, I suspose that is a good reason.

[Kataki]

As stated above, it's to help prevent artwork and stuff from being stolen.

BTW, I could right-click on Serebii.net when I used Opera.

[Aggron95]

I can right-click with Firefox as well.

[Matty_G33]

To stop doing what? Prevent right-clicking? I can screen grab anyway.

[Amonitas]

Well, I hopy you could right click in iv calc.

[Typo]

lawl.

It's to protect people from stealing the info on the site easily. Although, anybody trying to steal that has a brain would just hit "Print Screen" on their keyboard to steal art, and click "View" and then "View Source" to take text.

[A.I.P.]

Or Google "[insert pokemon here] serebii"

[Dephender]

Or, you know, use a non-shitty browser.

Then again, this is pretty much just a blockade against the biggest retards out there anyway, so it's effective enough.

[Serebii]

Indeed, it doesnt completely block it....thats impossible to do...but it slows the idiots

[Lord of Music]

But Joe, people on the Opera browser have no trouble at all, as in 0, simply Copy Pasting from the site.

Firefox and a few others have to highlight etcetera, and then some images have a black background, etc....

[Serebii]

I know, but over 85% of the sites visitors use IE

As I said...it slows down the idiots

[Matty_G33]

Well, I guess I have to steal sprites from Smogon, then.

[Serebii]

I guess you will

[Amonitas]

Lawl, but please allow us to right click in IV calculators, it makes it easier to copy paste you information there.

[Painmaster212]

I use firefox but it dont let me right click weird.Could be im using firefox 3 beta 5 but it dont matter i guess cause the only thing i would use it for is to view things in different tabs.

Is it worth pissing off legitimate visitors? The majority of sites that would copy information so blatantly don't receive visitors, and webmasters of sites that receive visitors will know how to steal your information anyway. Your solution to the problem is pretty lose/lose

[Matty_G33]

Dude, just leave Serebii alone and go bother TLF.

Yes it is

For the most part, people do not care...thats how come they keep coming back

[indigestible_wad]

I like how it makes people wonder if their mouse is broken.
