    When they have a link saying 'click for larger image' and when you click the image it is the same size (or barely larger) then the original! :mad: It's so lazy! Sorry, after Chris's thread below I suddenly had to get that off my chest. That feels better. :-D (However, I can almost hear your collective minds working on the jokes now ... but I don't care! ;P )

      I think you will find that many web designers think that some things are bigger than they really are...

            Yes and this is even more annoying when the first pic is that of an attractive lady and for programmatic reasons you want to see a higher resolution image (for science). And end up getting the same image. That is annoying!

                                      Just click your tongue twice and it will enlarge

                                      I've just tried that several times and nothing has happened ... I must have a faulty tongue. :sigh: :-D
