shrinking images on cache page

[+Tzinny]

Hi. I own a Letterbox in Chicago (see link). http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=940454ab-b2ad-4e2a-bce9-3a2c6ce22bd5

 

As part of the cache, you need to print off Sheet #1 and Sheet #2 and they links are on the page. After a recent GC.com update, I was advised that when people are clicking on the links provided, the sheets are now shrunk and you cannot increase the size without distorting the image. There is a work around by removing the "/display" from the web address for the image but I would like to simply be able to have folks click and get the full size image as intended.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Tzinny

Why not just put links to the full-size images right in the description? You've already got HTML in your description, so you could add:

<a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/37a7ca8d-4ce4-40e1-93bf-dbf06792ce38.jpg">Your text here</a>

and

<a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/18bbc47b-d749-406b-8a03-1149a48de77f.jpg">Your text here</a>

in an appropriate spot. It might make them easier to find, anyway. I always forget about those image links down there.
