What about removing the toolbar when a user is not logged in?

Hey Roger,

I definitely agree that the toolbar has some useful functionality even if you are logged off, and you are totally right that all you have to do is right click and choose save as to download the file, but I'd like to at least be able to get rid of the hi-res image for non-logged in users while keeping it for logged in users (which means I can't fully remove the hi-res image because that would get rid of it for logged in users too). At least this way, a non hi-res image combined with watermarking would make it very hard for someone to steal our images for some sort of commercial purpose.

Any way to make another toolbar that doesn't have the view hi-res link in it and make it an option to display this toolbar for non-logged in users?


You know what would be another nice option. The ability to add a password to an album so that if you wanted to allow access to it to a select group of people, but didn't want to have to go through the trouble of creating permissions and accounts for them, you could just have a general album password and provide the album link and the password for access
