Re: New Way To View Pictures

Click for full size
No, clicking "topic" does nothing but refresh the picture page.

What on my back right click menu should I click? I see nothing to click except "back" which is what I always click to get out of a picture and go back to the thread. (Unless the picture opens in a new tab and then I just close the tab).

There is NO WAY to get back except clicking through 5 pictures! This is a horrible idea. I will never enlarge any pictures that are done this way.

There isn't even the four left navigation buttons where I could at least click to go to Followed and then from there to the forum and then to the thread again.

These pictures do not open in a new tab as they should. That would be ok if they opened in a new tab as I could just close the tab after looking at them.

I'm using Fx 1.0.7 with Tabbed Browser Extensions.

On most browsers, the back and forward buttons have pull down menus that allow you to go directly to a page.

This browser has that feature. I have never looked at it before or used it. Why would I want to? I don't want to have to go all the way up to the top of my browser to the back button. I want to right click on the part of the page I am presently on and choose "back" from the right click menu. That should take me back to the thread instead it takes me back to the previous photo. This is a bad idea. It is like so many changes here recently. It creates extra work for the user. It doesn't make anything better.

If the "topic" button worked in Fx and didn't take me to a "forum doesn't exist page" in IE then that would be a good solution and I would be happy. I haven't tried any other threads with multiple photos yet so maybe the "topic" button works on other threads? Maybe it just doesn't on this example thread? Or, maybe in Fx it won't ever work if you use TBE or another tabbed browsing extension?

Also, I frequently use mouse gesture for back. How can I do that now? It won't work. Bummer.

Yes. (Fx is the official abbreviation according to MoFo).

Hmmm. Clicking on "topic" works for me on Safari, Firefox (both PC and Mac), and IE and Opera on PC. there must be something wrong with your system.

Although, I did notice that it doesn't work if you're not logged in. Not sure if that's intentional or not.
