Screenshot viewing

If you click on a release's screenshot, you're first taken taken to a screen that shows the shot by itself (at the same exact size). If you click it again, you get a shot that's doubled in size. Seems like it would be better just to go to the doubled version... I just don't see the point in viewing the image isolated from text when it's the same exact size as the original.

Or maybe it's just me. :-)

Couldn't agree more. Ptoing already brought this up here, but Perff didn't responded (yet :P)...

Screendump justice for CSDb! (Yes, it's really called like that)

I rather like left-clicking, I feel it somehow seperates me from Mac users.

Agreed!! Would nice to be able to click again to get back to the release though.

And I agree with Michael Franti: all the freaky people do make the beauty of the world!

maybe there is a nice possibility to double the size with javascript, so the page doesnt even need a reload...

you can even triple the size using JavaScript. It's really powerful!!!

maybe a blocker safe pop-up window is the best solution for viewing 2x screenshot.

Resized pics look like shit in Firefox 3 anyways.

It would be even nicer if the double size pic could look more like Vice in double size + PAL emulation mode.

That depends on which platform FF3 runs on.

MagerValp: True, but as I understood the discussions it is considered a bug that resized pictures look ok on certain platforms, and it will thus be remedied in the future.

so let's use something like PHP's GD2 library. We can resize the pic however we like and we can even apply any filter. What about that?

doing pal emu that way would be kinda hard i guess ...

i'd rather see more people uploading proper screenshots, with pal emulation enabled (atleast vice can do that).

I think the reason the first click shows the picture in actual size is that way back the image only rarely was shown in full size on the index-page - but thats now that way anymore, so did as sugested. :)

Thanks, Perff! :-) Much smoother, IMO.
