Default Has something changed on this forum?

In the last couple weeks everytime I click on a picture to enlarge it, it gets bigger than normal and is on another webpage. There are no forward or backward arrows either. So I have to click the return button at the top of my browser (Windows Explorer) and wait for reloading. Then do the same thing all over again for the next picture. Way too many steps compared to the way it use to be to see all the posted pictures.

Anyone have any idea if it is my computer or a malfunction on RCU? PP

I'm having the same experience, it's annoying. Not sure of the cause or fix.

I have been having the same experience for a few weeks, I was thinking my PC must be getting old.

Hope nt.

It's a real PITA when people make "improvements or upgrades" and no one cares to alert anyone to changes. In one way its OK as you can enlarge the photo posted to get a closer view...but then one always has to figure out how to get out of it. I also note a lot of photos are really big, requiring sliding the botom bar to see the whole thing, or get to the reply-edit bar.

That's weird, I am not having problems at all, works the same way it always has. knock on wood. I am using firefox though, wonder if that has anything to do with it.


Cheers,

It seems to be a Internet Explorer issue. You can use the 'back' hot key combination to return. Just hold down the 'Alt' key and hit the left arrow button.

Safari on Mac has issues also. MOST times the first time you click on a picture it works properly. The second time you get a postage stamp size version of the photo. The only reliable method is to "Open Link in a New Window"

It kinda amazes me that they to go and mess with something that was working great before. Please who controls the site, go back to the old photo format ( I also thought it was my computer, that's why I hadn't mentioned befor, go figure).

I see someone was listening, or should I say reading. I have the old picture ability back. I can click a pic to enlarge and click again to reduce, just like it was. Thanks.

First time you click on a photo it works fine. If I click it a second time you get the same as before (see my post above)

That issue is the tip of the iceburg with a bunch of other issues on this website. Page loading, search engine issues, timeout issues. The website from what I was told is now corporate owned. Its messed up big time.
