For Greg: a wee photo viewing niggle

Hello Greg

I hope you are recovering well from your hectic week in NY.

I am having a little trouble with how some photo images from YLF are opening in my browser. In most cases the image fits within my screen and I can view the whole image easily but in some instances the image is larger than my screen size. In example 1, this is not really an issue because I can see most of the details but in example 2 I find it hard to interpret the overall outfit because the perspective is lost (I can scroll but I only see half an outfit at any one time).

I have loaded a couple of screen shots for you.

Here are the threads the images have been taken from
http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....dknit-vest (photo 3)
http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....dknit-vest (photo 1 and 2)

Is this something which could be altered? Of course if you need any more info you know where to find me!

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for pointing this out RoseandJoan. The examples are great because they show me exactly what is happening. Currently I only ensure that the longest dimension fits the screen. But in those cases, even though the longest dimension (the width) fits, the shorter dimension (the height) doesn't.

I should check both dimensions and I will fix that sometime soon.

Greg: I had another one that I meant to email you for a little while. Sometimes the photos won't open in the pop up. It opens up in the browser instead and I have to use the back button on my browser to go back to the post. After a photo or two, the pop up opens and I can see the same images on the pop up by going back and forth. Is this a known issue?

I'm using the latest Firefox, BTW.

Thanks Greg!

I have the exact same issues that were pointed out above. Especially the second problem (the one LoP brought up) happens very often on my computer and sometimes I even hesitate to open the pictures because of this. I also use Firefox. It would be great if this could be fixed.

Me too Greg, sometimes a photo opens in my browser instead and it takes forever to get back and forth. I use Internet Explorer.

But everything else you do is just wonderful. I don't mention that enough. And I probably have no idea just how MUCH you do.....thank you!!!

Since we're mentioning it, I have the same photo-in-browser issue as LoP. It seems to happen on the first photo if I open it, but not on others in the line of photos. I use Safari. Doesn't happen consistently, but has happened more in the past week or two.
Thanks for your work!

RoseandJoan, I think the original problem you mentioned is solved. Please let me know if it works better now.

The other problem (photo not loading in a popup window) is harder. What is happening is that you have clicked the photo before the popup code has had a chance to load and instead of making you wait, it does the next best thing and opens the photo in a new page.

Thanks Greg, it is sorted!
