Uploaded images must be larger - Impossible to use todays images

Moved to Community Feedback.

The first thing I do is if an image is too small go into Edit and set it to large. And pray it is readable.

Yes I agree Mike. I think quite a few people find this less than intuitive. I think it is possibly on David and Melissa’s to do list.

Ah, you're right - I wasn't clicking to zoom in the "View Image" window.

It's sure odd that the lightbox window shows a much smaller view, even in full screen.

Works OK for me when enlarged.

Click once and image opens smaller in lightbox

Right-click and choose open in new tab or window

Go to the new tab and click again to zoom

Just testing image size upload. Original size here is 2560x1440:

It's interesting that if I click this image to enlarge it, the overlay is actually smaller. If I then right click to "View Image", it's still nowhere near full size. I uploaded this using the "insert photos" icon at the top of the editor, and chose "Large" for the size.

The right click and open in new tab doesn't help for me in Chrome.

Works for me Jeff when going to the new tab. 

There is a difference between adding an image and adding an image as an attachment.

That method works for me Jeff - but only when one image is uploaded. If someone uploads two or more then it only works on the last one

Yeah, it's bugging me too - but at the moment I think we have bigger fish to fry. With critical issues unresolved, the merely important should probably wait until later.

I think we should try to keep the noise level to a minimum, and concentrate on the big picture, which is a basically functional forum. Once we have that, we can look at the more technical details.
