How do you get the photos to enlarge???

Postby hankaye » Sun Oct 27, 2013 3:33 pm

Howdy;

I have attempted to click to enlarge several photos. I get an inquiry
as to wither or not I want to open / save / or close. I don't really need to open them
in another program or save them to my own files just to view them ... or do I?????
When I attempt to open I get another inquiry as to what program I wish to use...
I belong to several other phpbb's and do not need to go somewhere else to enlarge the photos.
Is there something that the Admin can do or ask php to do to enable a single click to enlarge
ability. Not being able to do so is really aggravating.

Thanks for your consideration.

Go to the members album and click on the thumbnail and it should open to a larger pic if it' is larger. :thinking:

Gage, Howdy;

Thanks for the reply, sometimes the members don't have the pix in the albums
and are just showing something during a thread. Besides, shouldn't have to go on
a scavenger hunt just to look at a photo. most other phpbb sites allow the forum
member to merely right click with the cursor on the photo and you get a nice enlargement
and stay in the thread instead of gallivanting all over the website. That's all ...

Hey Hank, we have a maximum size requirement for all pics on this site. It ain't real big either, either way it is what it is and most, if not all, are happy with it. If time is of a premium ,and you can't go gallivanting all over the place, maybe you could use the save photo option. That way you could look at it at your leisure.
Cheers

PaulC, Howdy;

I understand about size requirements etc. The one's that are smaller are the ones that
1. I have to find a outside program to utilize for an enlargement or to 'save'.
Why do I want to save someone else's photos in my computer's memory?
2. Here is an example of what I'm referring to on other forums (phpbb ).

Slide your curser over the photo and give it a Right click ... Can not something as
simple as that be accomplished here ????? One would think so.

Hank, been here since 2004 and have never had, or heard, this complaint before. Quite honestly I don't really care about it either but,if it annoys you so much, send Mike a request.
Cheers

IIRC, I had this problem, too, with a windoz upgrade. Mike's advice was to switch to Firefox and all those troubles went away. :D
