how to save pictures from hi5

Due to the fact that hi5 has implemented a system against copying and saving pictures from the website,by javascripting rewriting of the src link of a hi5 picture,none of the most known methods of saving a picture from hi5 works:save as,save,show picture link,copy image location.
it all takes you to a gif picture 1×1_trans.gif which has 1 pixel in dimension.
But I will now show you how to bypass this trick.
There are two methods:
1 …view page source,and therefore copy image src location
2..the most common method..simple as daylight…SAVE PAGE AS :d
It therefore saves the page and the adjacent folder on your hard drive…
And that’s it…enjoy and fuck those assholes who hi5 tries to protect:P

Si in limba romana deh,ca sa stie tot taranu…hi5 a criptat pozele userilor cu rescrierea prin javascript a scr ului pozelor..astfel aparand o imagine numita 1×1_trans.gif.Nu mai merge nici save as,nici save picture as,si nici copy image locaion,precum nici show photo links.
Dar sunt 2 chestii pe care nimeni nu le va putea cripta.
Si anume..codul sursa al paginii unde se afla adevaratul link al pozei care este suprascris in html,si optiunea de salvare a paginii in local..save page as…iar in fisierul adiacent va fi poza dorita.
Enjoy si hai sa nu mai protejam cocalarii si pitipoancele.:P

      dude…estte posibil si cu PRINT SCREEN (butonul de deasupra INSERT)…dupa ce ai dat PRINT SCREEN,intri in PAINT dai CTRL+V,si iti copiaza imaginea acolo..poti da crop image,ramane poza,si ma ramane decat sa o salvezi.Prob e ca nu o salveaza la rezolutia originla iar calitatea lasa putin de dorit.Incearca si vezi cum e.ENJOY

    Take a look at this program. http://www.americansys.com/ps.htm
    It won’t “save the picture as” but it can print your screen with the foto in the middle of it to a folder you’ve set for it. Just a click per any page in hi5. The only problem is the later cropping of the images but imo it’s faster than going to check the page’s source everytime you want to save the image. Imagine you want to save a whole album… can you see the time you’ll save with this program? There must be others but just tried thi one that btw as a limit of 30 days i think. Anyway you get the idea on how it works and there must be others better than this one.

    There’s a quicker solution :
    Use NoScript Addon in Mozilla Firefox and don’t authorize “About: Blank” when you are on Hi5.
    It will disable this awfull hi5’s javascript…

      Hi ptt, can you be more specific about [don’t authorize “About: Blank”] I am new to the internet and don’t know how to do this. Thanks

    March 26, 2009 at 4:16 pm | #10

    Have tried disabling the “about:blank” in Firefox, and the other recommended tips above. Still unable to save the HI5 Pics. could it be that the HI5 programmers have “tweaked” their codes to dis-allow pic saving and defeat the above tips? Does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks, Flav

  9. March 26, 2009 at 6:14 pm | #11

    dear fav…the above tips work 4 me….and cannot be fought against…try again

  10. Flavius
    March 27, 2009 at 12:10 am | #12

    Thanx Beheader. There’s probably a settings issue within my browser or some other unrealized “self inflicted” issue on my end. Will continue to play with it. Curses upon those HI5 script writers :)

    The 3rd Method:

    1. Right-click on the small picture of the one you want to save
    2. Click View Image
    3. Modify the URL from [...]-01.jpg to [...]-02.jpg
    4. Press Enter
    5. Click Save Image As

    That’s all :)

    Metoda 3:

    1. Clic dreapta pe poza mică a celei care se doreşte salvată
    2. Clic View Image
    3. La URL se modifică [...]-01.jpg cu [...]-02.jpg
    4. Se apasă Enter
    5. Clic Save Image As

    Asta-i tot :)

  12. April 1, 2009 at 6:56 am | #14

    I couldn’t understand the 3rd method by KaRaKteR but the 1st and 2nd tweaks worked fine for me …

    April 24, 2009 at 9:27 pm | #21

    One simple solution.

    Step 1 = look at your keyboard, you will find a button called PrntScrn

    Click that button

    step 2 = open an image editting software and paste it there

    step 3 = crop the pic and export as jpeg

    there u go the pic from hi5

    a little smaller but better than nothing

  20. Nippy
    April 24, 2009 at 9:44 pm | #22

    can someone explain ti me the 3rd method please. Any of the 3 work for me :(

  21. Carlos
    April 25, 2009 at 1:08 am | #23

    Much easier, using Firefox 3 just drag the pic to address bar of browser, it will load the picture, now you can save it with right button -> save picture as :)

    2. Click View Image
    3. Modify the URL from [...]-01.jpg to [...]-02.jpg

    Easy and Simple method to save pictures from Hi5.com and save media files (Flash video) as follows…

    1. Use the Mozilla Firefox browser.( Can be downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com )

    2. Open the page, the picture that you wanted to save.

    3. Click right button( Not on the pictrue) and select the to “View Page Info”.(You can also get this from the menu bar of the browser ie. Tools, Page Info”)

    4. Now select “Media” from the newly opened window and you can see all the pictures and media opened on that particular web page. all the URLs u can find.

    (Example: http://images.hi5.com/images/favicon.ico
    http://static.hi5.com/images/gifts/drinks/champagnetoast01_50.png
    http://photos4.hi5.com/0055/133/027/0FsK7J133027-02.jpg ******
    http://images.hi5.com//flash/AdPlayer3.swf

    5. Now select one by one the picture of the URL (u can find and view in the bottom of the window)and click on “Save As”..That’s it.

    You can even save the flash video files also using this method..enjoy..no print screen and editing…very simple..

    You can then save the photos as usual.

    These pictures were uploaded 2 or 3 years or more ago, when every picture was automatically resized to 640×480, before hi5 changed it to [...]-01.jpg and [...]-02.jpg, that were much larger than the old ones.

    Nu, nu am lucrat la hi5. Sunt nişte imbecili ! Nu ştiu să îşi administreze site-ul cum trebuie. Au înlocuit user feedback-ul cu un amărât de FAQ care nu îţi răspunde la anumite întrebări.
