Why can't pics be magnified anymore?

Those pics capable of such. Used to be easily.

A browser or CU issue?

Thanks.

    On my Apple, if I touch and hold the pic, it will enlarge in a separate window.

    Ok. Maybe that’s not I t

    I can do a work around on a pc. Never had to before. Your point?

    Right click on the pic, open in new tab, presto.

    Geez I don’t know. It’s a discussion forum.

    I made a thread on how to do it until they fix the forum. I agree it is annoying to have to manually open pictures in a new tab to see them full size.

    It seems like they fixed the tiny width that they were forced to resize to. Now they at least take up the full width of the text area, not clickable yet but at least they are bigger now.

    The right click work around doesn't work on my computer. I wish they would fix it.

    Glad that was fixed. Hooray!

    Doing this gives me the option to open the image in a new page on my s8. A little inconvenience but it works for me.

    I remember when the pics used to magnify with one or two clicks. Now they're just still shots. Here's a sample, see if it magnifies...

    I used two fingers on my iPhone 8+ to enlarge your image:

    Still doesn't work. It's an important feature especially for looking at coins on the BST Forum.

    I don't think it's going to be fixed.

    It was a very nice feature, and used frequently. I hope it is restored....Cheers, RickO

    That picture is small so it is already displaying full size

    I hope someone at PCGS sees this thread and at least lets us know if it's going to be fixed or not.

  • @PerryHall I sent links to some of the other forum threads about the issue and the forum developers told me they know the image features changed with the last update but, instead of a quick fix, they are working on a new feature set. I am unsure when the launch date would be for that, but it seemed to be within a few weeks. I will check in again next week with them for an update.

    Thanks for your attention to this issue. Your help is greatly appreciated. :)

    That sounds great.
    The one-click pic enlargement was a wonderful thing about the TrueView links.
