Building Beeg Boy...(with LOTS of pictures)

[doctorwayne]

The pictures are "thumbnails", and on dial-up, took about ten minutes to load.
Is there a way for these to come up full size, from the gallery, or is the only option to click on each, in turn, to see the whole picture?.

I think perhaps that our Gallery needs a bit of "tweaking". For me, the pictures occupy about 2/3 of the width of my monitor, but the picture visible is not the entire image that's in the Gallery. By clicking on the picture, the screen dims, then a "framed" picture shows up in the middle of the screen, smaller in size than the image that was clicked on, but showing the complete image, with the right side not cut off.
Others have said that the pictures show large on initial viewing, and no part of the image is missing.

I realise that large pictures can be a real pain for those on dial-up, but these don't seem that large. I remember posting a couple on Zealot that were extra large, in order to show particular details, and required extensive scrolling both vertically and horizontally. They pretty much put the whole thread in disarray. Nowadays, I try to include the "Lots of pictures" warning in the title of the thread, and, for anyone wanting to see thumbnails, they're in the Gallery. If you go to my Gallery Albums, clicking on the thumbnail image will give you the "framed" larger image in the centre of the screen. Clicking on the "image name" below the thumbnail will give you a larger picture - on my screen, it fills the viewing area vertically, and leaves a 1 1/2" margin on both sides.
