I suspect that, right now, the viewing options are pretty much terra incognita for quite a few members.    And what, actually, is the default setting of the options (plenty of members, I suspect, never visit their personal options)?    If they don't know that they are viewing images at reduced size, that would seem to be a deficiency of the site.   As I said, though, I fail to see how someone who has looked at a picture, but only at a reduced version, is in a position honestly to rank it or comment upon it.
