    Whatever happened to clicking on a picture to get an enlarged size? The images on this site are displayed very small. Everybody loves pictures, but why aren't they bigger???:confused:

    I found that if you right-click the image then select "view image" from the pop-up menu, you will get the larger view.

    Hope this helps. :)

    The larger the image to load the more it will slow down the site. Thats why they make the size max for images small.

    I'm using Chrome, and don't get that option. I used to be able to click on the image to see a larger version, but that doesn't work anymore.

    I should have been more specific. When photos are linked to Photobucket, they appear much smaller on 3Reef than the size they were uploaded as, and they appear smaller than the photos that are hosted on 3Reef itself.

    I'm not sure that it's a bandwidth problem. I can hit ctrl + in Chrome and still get a very large detailed view of a photo. The data is there, but the viewing size is small.

    IMO, graphical images are important part of this site. Is it possible for them to appear larger in posts?

    Seems it may be an issue with Chrome. FTR, I'm using Firefox. "Normal" images are full message-body size. When I right-click and select "View Image", I get a full-screen version.
