... without having to individually zoom in for each image :(

worked fine until yesterday or so... or anyhow until the new interface broke it. and the option to always display the image properly is now gone from the options page.

I agree!  Or does that mean we will have to look at that darn right hand column laid over all the images bigger than 800 pixels wide?  It used to work to scroll over to see the full image when it was larger but that has not been right for a couple of weeks!  Please fix this!

I also would like to see the option to view images full size back.  This was the one feature that I really enjoyed since I try to view as many artists as I can at the full view most of them recommend right away.

Viewing more than a few images here has always seemed a bit tedious to me having seen more navigation features or slideshow options available on some other sites I frequent, not to mention larger file size’s allowed to be posted by artists.

Me too..

me too!

No word then..!!

Agree, the full view was a really useful function, now navigate the images is much more time and band consuming cause first we have to load the resized image and after we have to load the fulls size version.

I agree. I would rather see the fullsize version of the picture right from the get go.

Just another, 'Please bring back full size'...

I've actually stopped browsing until this is back.

It would be nice if someone from the site would offer some feedback on this..

Helloooooooooo, any site people like to comment on this issue? It seems to be something that many people don't like about the new layout, some feedback on whether anything will be done about it would be appreciated..

Thanks for the links to those scripts - they're really useful. I didn't know that we could do stuff like that.

I still wish that the powers that be would stop fixing things that aren't broken though, and bring back full size view.

ditto

And still they don't respond. Members have a legitimate concern about this, the least they could do would be to give an answer one way or the other...

If you understood why* they changed it in the first place, you'd understand why they not going to bring it back.
The only current solution is a GreaseMonkey (or equivalent) script.  

*The HTML structure/sizing was wrong before, and the redesign didn't improve things, it made it worse.

I don't really CARE why this was changed. It worked fine until a few days ago; everyone was happy; now they broke it... and this should be fixed ASAP!

If you understood why they changed it in the first place*

How would I understand it if nobody has bothered to explain it???

Fact is, as others have said, we had it before, we don't now, WHY? Small question, all it needs is a response from someone who knows, i.e. Site Admin....

No disrespect nruddock but last time I looked you weren't on that list of site admins....

They did it to fix a problem with the layout, see linked thread.
Unfortunately it wasn't what was needed or wanted.

Correct, but irrelevant.

And you've been nearly as long as I have, so you must recognise the pattern here, that demanding the admins explain themselves on a technical issue that they didn't understand before "fixing" it, just isn't going to have a happy ending, no matter how much you or I explain, complain, or fill in survey answers about issue.
I do hope they say something, because it should be assuming, but will be unfulfilling.

Alas, the cure is a LOT worse than the problem!

At the very least give me the option to DECIDE which is the lesser evil for me (the simplest way is to temporarily give back access to the old code/formatting that worked fine, until the new design is properly fixed).

You can view the image at full size by clicking the "zoom in" so at this time we have no plans to put options back in.  I'm not saying that will never happen but for now, you can still view the image as intended by clicking zoom in

Thanks

Stacey

lol - amazing!

Yea, we knew that already Stacey, but thanks for showing us all how thick we've been...

The question was, Why is it not selectable anymore? Can you not share the reasoning with us mere mortals??

Of course we would like it back, there are only a few here asking for it, but I've seen many posts by artists saying it's their last image because of this seemingly small issue, surely an explanation isn't too much to ask for..!!

Thanks for the reply.

However, for viewing many images, having to constantly zoom simply makes the site unusable.

Perhaps for you there is no big difference, but as you can see in this thread, for many people (myself included) this is absolutely critical.

If it's a bandwidth thing this option is likely gone for good.  Not every image looked at is going to be zoomed.  (If they were, bandwidth would go up, obviously.)

Another gripe I have, if I'm going to have to live with this, is why can't the new window be sized for the zoomed image?

Quote - If it's a bandwidth thing ...

It's not a bandwidth thing, it's an HTML layout thing. The old layout mostly worked, but full size pictures made the fixed sized background image look wrong, then they changed something and the righthand bar appeared over the top of full sized pictures, then they released the latest design and full sized pictures broke the layout even worse.

I dont mind the current setup because for me it IS a bandwidth issue. On dialup with a fairly low transfer rate because of line quality I dont want any image sent if it isnt critical. 

Personally I like the feature on other sites where requesting a full size image opens it in a new window.

The way things were setup, was pretty much ideal in that every choice was catered for (both from the artist's and viewer's point of view).
And the ability to choose is always welcomed, so it's not surprising that people aren't best pleased when the lowest common denominator is imposed.

The website, I assume, is subject to bandwidth pricing tiers.  I remember youtube had a campaign to try to get people to use lower quality settings for a short while ...

I do get the html thing, though, but if their cost is an issue they may have little incentive to do anything about it (that's my point).

i'd rather have a broken layout than the current no-fullscreen-images... :(

cost is an issue, chuter, but that's not the issue in the gallery display, as mentioned by noel.
