I'm going to have to agree with schmism that the new image popups are kind of annoying. I used to middle-click images into a new tab before on occasion, so I guess I have to do it more often now. The thing that is annoying me is how long it takes the images to load in the popup. If I view an image outright, it loads very fast. If I use the popup it can take a while.
The images do not pop up here like the do on ebay. What I'm disapointed in, is that the pictures are now half the size they used to be. When making a picutre bigger, I liked making it as big as possible to see as much as possible. Making a small picture a little bigger is not the same as being able to make it large.
I apologize for the inconvenience... In light of the feedback, we've changed it back to the "old way" ... I personally thought it was a nice little feature but also agree that seeing the entire image is better.
