Click to enlarge

[Jon Shoreman]

Why is there a link "Click to enlarge" next to pictures that when you click it opens a new page with the image exactly the same size?

Example:


Damsel Fly by .The Pikester., on Flickr

because sometimes an image is actually bigger than the forum, the forum will reduce the size of the image so it fits in the message area. click to enlarge is to open in a new window as big as it can be to see it in its full high quality glory.

theres no way (well there is but its kinda pointless and resource intensive) to tell if the image is of large enough size to warrant a "click to enlarge" so it just does it with them all.

Awesome picture btw
