> If the large preview is a stretched thumbnail of that picture

That happens when the large picture hasn't yet loaded. If you wait it usually will load.

Works only for some sites. If the large preview is a stretched thumbnail of that picture, then "open image in new tab" will not get you the full image but the thumbnail.

Sometimes, right clicking on the larger preview image and selecting 'view image' will bring up the original. Not always though.

Hmm.. do you know the size of the image? Also, there’s no loading wheel so it might take a second depending on the size of the image. Just tried on mobile with a 1.8mb image and the preview popped up.

The template previews don't work for me: if I click on a template picture, I get a preview image of about the same size as the thumbnail I clicked on.

I've seen the same behaviour on OS X with an Intel GPU: https://i.imgur.com/3fagsYx.jpg (screenshot of the contents of a browser tab - pretty sure it was Chrome. The Rooster Teeth page you can see parts of had been closed hours prior)

You need to wait a bit longer for the images to load.

It sometimes takes a while for the photo on the right to load, but eventually they do (at least for me, i'm on Opera)

If somebody sends me an image, I can click on the thumbnail and open it full-size about once in five attempts. Usually it will just open up to a blank screen and fail to load the image.

I don't know if this is true for anybody else, but the real image always loads first.

Yes, that's the typical explanation, but no, the images are most definitely loaded, thanks.

You must be right-clicking the thumbnail in the image search list.

Instead, first left-click the thumbnail to open the larger image preview. Then right-click the large preview image and select "open image in new tab". You will get the full image.

If anyone has an example where this doesn't work, I'd be curious to see it. It works every time for me.

You are. But wait for the image to load or you'll get the thumbnail.

ljk | karma 1474 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2015-05-13 04:28:09+00:00

is anyone else getting a thumbnail-sized pic?

Markoff | karma 1819 | avg karma 0.7 · | 2022-11-25 15:02:18

Why all thumbnails seem to be loading full version of image? Haven't seen this in long time that as I scroll through article thumbnails are still just slowly loading while they should be loaded instantly. I mean it's hard to take seriously someone talking about other sites who can't design own site to load properly.

petepete | karma 6750 | avg karma 3.41 · | 2016-08-26 09:46:58

The images appear to load for me.

tristan9 | karma 79 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2021-09-07 03:42:55

Not correct, we generate 2 thumbnails sizes for every cover -- if the site loads full-size anywhere by default (rather than when you expand it) it's definitely a bug!

tass | karma 668 | avg karma 2.48 · | 2019-01-14 08:05:20

I think it's a delay loading the images - it's scored by poo emojis.

It took a few seconds for that to be visible when I visited the page, initially only showing as large dots.

Perhaps there are/were pictures that aren't loading?

sp332 | karma 55607 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2023-07-01 11:00:30

Mine is mostly fine, but it doesn't load the full version of images for a few days now. It will show me the inline cropped version, but I can't click through to the larger one.
