Click to enlarge

This has happened one too many times now, so I have to rant about it :mad:

Web sites with little pictures of the item you are interested in, and a "click to enlarge" link which, when clicked mearly brings the same size picture up in a gigantic frame/window.

Grrrrrrr!

So many times............

The only adverts which really annoy me at the moment are the damn MSN ones which love to randomly take-over your screen if you so much as dare pretend to hover near or forget about them them.

this type of thing makes me laugh every time, a small low res photo, click to enlarge and it either brings the photo up exactly the same size or it digitally zooms making it look horribly pixelated!

In other words, I feel your pain

*edit Nix those goddamn MSN ADDS! bloody open up overlaying themselves over anything else you have open ARGGHH!!!

Ha i know both of the mentioned pains here oh so well.

worst one for me is the ads for 'Smilies' where you hover over and audio plays really loud saying "HEY!!!!! SAY SOMETHING!!!!!"

Now that you have mentioned those smilies, I am starting to feel better about my little picture hang-up.

I like it when people use 3 MB jpgs that are 6000x6000 and just set their size to 300x300 without actually resizing them.

"OH MY GOD! NO WAAAAY!"

So annoying.

What's even more annoying is when the rest of the web page is dimmed so you can't bring two pictures up at once to compare them because clicking on the page closes the window, total design incompetence.
