When an image is linked from the Dakka gallery using the "Share this image" html the image appears smaller than the one that is stored in the gallery. Is there a way to retain this link (as in clicking on the image takes a user to the gallery), but whilst having a larger image posted in the thread? When you direct link an image, rather than using the share html it appears larger I mean, and this would be preferable. That is unless its easier to just post the direct link and leave it to users to find the gallery themselves, I just do the sharing thing as its one less click when posting images. Ah, and I'm guessing somewhat that the answer's going to be "yes, but it involves a couple of extra html statements, so if you want to bother your ass pasting those in every time be our guest".

Sharing Html:


Direct link:

Like this? Or am I comically missing the point?

Blargh! Heh, though I take it that you hand typed that Html however?

...Ok at this point I'm not sure what I'm even asking for. Put it down to asking questions after having been awake for far, far too long.

What I did was I picked the largest size possible from the "Share this image" dropdown menu on the page itself.

You pick the size you want, the links below will automatically show the size you choose.

How many years have I used this site's gallery, but never looked just a tiny bit upwards?

...Screw it, I'm done. Time to commit seppuku over this indignity!

* edit: Minus five internet points though that you didn't tell me how much an idiot I was being through the medium of a .gif however BrookM!

My work here is done.

Ok, ah, job's a good un. Time to let this thread die.
