Message Center photos

[+Stachey Pete]

For many months now, most of the photos sent to me through the Message Center come in such poor quality that I cannot see anyone's face or the details of there EarthCache photo. There is not difference between viewing the messages in the app or on the website using Chrome. Is this a know issue? Screenshot of a received EarthCache photo attached.

I have not seen any issues with photos on the app or website both of which I've used this week.

You may have seen an upscaled thumbnail image. When using the MC with my desktop computer, I can see three different size images. The first one is pretty small, 97 x 97 pixels thumbnail. When I open the image by clicking it, I see a larger 526 x 526 pixels version on a popup. If I want to see the original image, I must right-click the popup image and open the image to a new tab. Then I can see a fullscreen 2048 x 2048 pixel image.

I thought it was just me. I have a virtual where people send me photos of a sign that changes frequently, and I can never read it. Clicking (iOS) to open the photo doesn’t help. Same for the version that comes to my email. This has been months for me also.

I don't get sent a lot of photos to the MC.  But last week, I received two.  One was from a cache finder trying to narrow down my cache, the other was the photo of finding it.  Both were heavily compressed postage stamp sized preview photos that don't expand to a viewable image.

 

Here's the first photo.  The cacher was asking me if this is where the cache is.  And I can't tell from the photo.

 

 

 

 

This may be a clue to the problem.  If I right-click the preview in Windows (Brave Browser), a window pops up as if it is going to show me the full-size image.  But it's instead an empty white sliver.
