Taylor Louise is my kind of pink--I don't usually like pinks.

Love the beard. But then I looked at the child plant Purposeful and like that beard better!

tveguy3 said:@dave Only you still have to scroll to see it, and you see less of it at one time. You got a better view the old way. Too bad it doesn't open a window that you can maximize to make it fill the whole screen.

I'll admit that "old dogs don't like new tricks", but, for me, this wasn't a real improvement. The actual image , in several of the ones I 'tested", doesn't get any larger......just has the "border box", and, on the rest, the image DOES enlarge, but you need to scroll to see it all

Oh yuck! I do not like the new way photos open up. The other way you could see the all details of larger photos. I agree with the others, not an improvement at all, but thanks for continually working on the site.

You all have the same issues with the new photo system that I do, and the same complaints.

Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

Count me among those who do not like the change in the ways pictures enlarge. Some are smaller while a few, at times, are much to large. At first I thought it was my computer and something I had done incorrectly.........

Probably this discussion should be on the site forum where we can see the comments from other forums as well.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

I just went to the rose forum and looked at a couple of threads of rose pictures which I had posted. Same problem as here. Most pictures smaller but randomly a picture was larger and won't fit on the screen.......

I want to add that Champagne Encore reblooms for our daughter in northern Ohio.
