Quote - 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.
