How do I view a proper picture

[RST]

...A while back I notice when one clicks on a picture it opens a separate image with a black background with a small picture in the middle. Has this changed? It never used to do this before -how do I open pics properly and ditch the black screen crap! Is this a forum thing or my laptop -it doesn't happen on other sites?? I want to see pics properly again.

Oh yea I can imagine the conversation in the pub with the web guys......


Yea, so pics are too easy so what should we do????

I know ........................... we'll piss about and instead of bringing the pic up we'll intercept it with another screen! Because surely nobody expects in this day in age not to click on a screen and see what they want -they have to see something else first!

........yea you're a genious -it was too easy before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now folk will try clicking, sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't -it's all about the web powers we have changing something just because.

mmmmmmwwwwwhaaaaaaaawwwwwwww.

I'm a webgeek, not the one you describe tho, i like to get hammered on good scotch, mess around with guns, chase girls while being "engaged", drive too fast in my car or on my bike(s), do a line a blow, run like mad & repeat it again tomorrow.....oh yeah and play as much as I can with my tools....& dream of having a full SnapOn kit some day.
I hated the pop-up overlay that a lot of sites use now, including this one, I understand it fully tho.
You have to remember that mom & dad and joe-schmoe internet user doesn't get what's going on half the time, so should a picture pop open in a new window, or in the same one god forbid, plenty of times the argument: "WTF just happened to the website I was looking at" or "WTF, what just happened?! A picture opened when I clicked here", it happens often and especially now a days with the newer browsers that are plainly unfamiliar as of yet. Many don't understand the concept of the "Back" button on the browser software. Far worse is the (seriously crappy) implementation of many an antivirus/antispyware/antiwhathaveyou software that prevents popups, open-/top-window control, and the same browser preventing new windows from opening.....then there is the Tabs feature from pretty much every browser these days that will confuse the nickers off of any idiot.....
I can't tell you how many times I get calls with "my website doesn't work" when all that has happened is a picture popped up and its displaying somewhere, & the f*ck-tard on the other end of the line has not a least bit of a clue whats being displayed on the desktop. I'd be worldly rich if I charged 1 cent for each of those......

Having a picture open up and fading the background of the original site seems to be working quite well for the general public.....it's grown on me. I don't like the amount of AJAX software config you have to do for it, but it seems to be working.....

Yes I ramble, ADHD, life sucks.
What is sad is there is no internet for us people in the know, just one general one for tech-retards but that want to belong so badly to the new-generation. I.E. Baby-boomers. They all want the latest greatest: "Ooooooh gimme that Apple laptop because it looks so spiffy, wait it doesn't run windows? Now what?! Whatever I'm so freaking old I can't see what it says, now lets put it in that cupboard we had installed by BrandNameCupBoardsStore."

Then there is the sad-jewish community that hangs on forever with all of their might to the holocaust & war crap, if the black people in the USA did the same about slavery, I would imagine we'd all be in prison for being white.

Internet2 is still not the cooked bird we all want.

No worries dude, I just wondered what was wrong with cliuking on something and getting a pic. Allot of stuff changes for good -but why when I keep on clicking doesn't it come-up?

I'm kind of these web guys, and in reality, this conversation goes like this (in the 90% of cases)

Some bighead, who owns some company that has a web page sits in a pub with his closest co-workers:

"Yea, I don't like pics the current way on our homepage. So tell those web guys to make it this and that"

Web guys in another pub:

"Yea, you heard what that Rtard wants know? His magesty doesn't like the way pictures appear now, so we have to make this and that with it.
D-amn... not again..."
