A Suggestion...

[MaryLouW]

I didn't know where to post this so please move this to wherever it should go.

When  looking through the various customization mods, they all have these tiny little Preview Images.  To be honest, they are totally worthless because they're not big enough to see.  Some of the authors have made maybe one or two images clickable so you CAN see what the mod does but the majority do not.

It would be nice if that was a requirement - a clickable image so people could actually see what they are going to install.  Those tiny preview images aren't worth the time it takes to make them when you can't see them.  I'm sure I've passed on some really good mods simply because I cannot see what to expect.

Okay... end of complaint!  Thanks for listening!

All the mod author needs to do is upload a normal sized version; the mod site handles making thumbnails and making them clickable.

I think JavaScript is used to make those images clickable so make sure you have that enabled.

[MaryLouW]

Where would I enable Javascript?  In the browser?  I use Firefox.

[NanoSector]

It's most likely already enabled if you don't know how you should disable it.

[Arantor]

If it works for some already, it's already enabled.

[MaryLouW]

Actually, it only worked for ONE.  I went through a LOT of the mods and none of them showed a larger image.

[Deaks]

then its likley thats the size of the uploaded image

[MaryLouW]

That's the problem.  They aren't much larger than a postage stamp and one cannot see what's even on them. They are too tinyl  This is why I would like to see a larger image pop up when you click the image.

Are the images clickable on that mod page for you?

[MaryLouW]

Those work just fine!!  One click and I up it popped.  Now, if they all did that, it would be so nice!!

[NanoSector]

Hmm then I'd say this is indeed related to image size. Uploading images is the responsibility of the mod author so you should contact them to get this fixed.

You probably already know this but in the meantime MaryLou, you can use ctrl-scroll to increase the size somewhat ... it does get more distorted the larger you make it of course. And ctrl-0 to put your page back to normal.
