No doubt that my eyesight is not what it used to be. Often I would like to see the details of various pictures posted within an article. Not knowing the first thing about programming, would like to ask if it is possible to add this ability. Dave's is just about perfect as far as I am concerned. Just never satisfied are we?

LOL, Christi ... I think a lot of us are in that same boat regarding eyesight not being what it used to! I too have been hoping for the possibility of larger images in the articles. I think this was asked about a while back but don't remember for certain ... my ole' brain ain't what it used to be either, and I might very well be thinking of something else! ^_^

I will be watching this thread to see what Admin. says!

LOL, Yeah Dave, ya give us an inch and we take a mile, we always wanting something more!

Some articles do have enlargeable pictures, but it is a feature that the author must add when writing the article, as a full size image must be also stored somewhere on Dave's Garden.

I have started to do so in the occasional articles that I write and this article has all images enlargeable except the first introductory image:

You can also incorporate an enlarged photo within your article

Hi, LouC. Its a valid request, and I share your pain. It's not THAT hard but it involves a couple of steps and and I try my best just to use pictures that I think are clear and concise enough as small pix. But I'll keep this in mind....
