Clicking on posters' pictures

Whenever someone posts a diagram or picture of some sort I click on it to get a better look but it always comes up really small and I can't read it properly. About the same size as in the post.

Is there a way of it coming up bigger?

(I have tried zooming in the whole screen but it just makes it blurry)

Thank you to anyone who can help Smile

Hi OP

Thanks for your question!

Can we just check what device and browser you're using to access the site? Flowers

Chamomileteaplease · 05/05/2020 19:47

Thanks, I am using an HP laptop and I am on Chrome.

Hi @Chamomileteaplease thanks for the extra information. Does the same issue happen if you use a different browser please? Flowers

I have now logged on in another browser but can't find a diagram to click on Grin. I shall keep looking and let you know if it is any different. thank you.

OK I went to Mumsnet on Internet Explorer and clicked on a picture and it was exactly the same. I couldn't see how to make it any larger.

Hi OP

It's a bit of a pain but we really need to see what you're seeing - would you be able to upload a screenshot for us, so we can take a look?

I am using a laptop and Chrome and have the same problem (did my own thread about this a while back).

Another problem with your pic viewer is that to enlarge the pic you have to enlarge the page so the pic jumps about and you tend not to be able to see it all as most of it falls off the screen, presumably because it's set to sit in the centre of the page? ie the bigger the page, the centre changes.

Can’t zoom on mobiles either

OK here's a pic of my cat so I can then try to get a pic of what happens when we zoom.

Here's the zoom.

Jux · 12/05/2020 16:30

That's a pic of my entire screen. Even if I were to enlarge my browser window right to the R hand edge it wouldn't help. The pic would just jump a bit over to the right.

Chamomileteaplease · 12/05/2020 19:08

I will try and show you HQ, but actually Jux has shown very well what happens.

Hers has stayed quite well in focus but usually anything with writing on gets blurry and yes, half off the screen.

I don't seem to be able to do it!

I tried one and couldn't but the picture came up even smaller than the one the poster put on. I will try again.

I used to love a good old zoom, especially on Style and Beauty threads but I can't anymore. Just on iPhone and app.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 12/05/2020 19:22

I can zoom in on my Android phone on the mobile site.

Mytimetogo · 12/05/2020 20:55

I have this issue on the phone (android).

HopeMumsnet · 13/05/2020 07:06

Cheers, all, we'll pass this onto tech now! Lovely cat btw!
