when anything but original size wont do....

[strumstrum]

...what do you do?

ie this piccy I got today is great in the original size as you can read the names and the statues are nice and clear but when we drop the size it just gets lost... bad times

I wish Flickr could default to a bigger size so random viewers would see it as I would expect many wouldnt bother going to the 'all sizes' and choosing 'original'.... more bad times

Hi strumstrum, one way to do it is to make your smaller image a clicky link that leads to the bigger picture like this.


click for full size image.

The way to do this is use the following.

<url=location of large image><img>location of small image</img></url>

but use square brackets instead of angled ones. Hope that helps.

Sorry but I think that's a horrendously bad idea. I would hate it if every picture loaded at 3 or 4 thousand pixels wide by default. It would take forever to view anything and most pictures do not look good at original size. Too much scrolling about to see the full thing.

If you'd like to invite flickr viewers to see your pictures full size, in the description box you can write <a href="www.url-of-large-picture.com">Please view large</a> and it will display as Please view large This is great as it gives people the choice. Not everyone (particularly with those with slow connections) will want to view full size.

Cheers Paddy, couldn't agree more with ye and I'm only happy to be able to give back a little after all the help I've had from others here.

Other than the above, what you could is attach 1 or 2 small images to the side of the first image. make the attached ones cropped images of zoomed in areas.
