When you click on a profile picture, why can't it be seen larger?

Asked by elijah (8659points) March 14th, 2009 from iPhone

I want to see DrBill’s giant cat or maybe Daloon’s tattooed ass up close. Ok, maybe not the ass. How can I paint a mural of AstroChuck if I can’t really see his face? I think Augustlan’s avatar may be a capital letter A, but who knows? A lot of people have cute or funny avatars but they are too small to fully enjoy.

Remove the _thumb from the link.

You can’t from the iPhone, because there is no right click, but you can from a desktop browser. You right click the image, select “view image” then you will see a URL like this:
http://www.fluther.com/mogilefs/images/v2/avatars/elijahsuicide/P4080009-1_thumb.jpg

Then remove the “_thumb” near the end to see it full sized. The URL will look like this:
http://www.fluther.com/mogilefs/images/v2/avatars/elijahsuicide/P4080009-1.jpg

Your image is now full sized!

One last thing, I haven’t figured out how to do this in Internet Explorer. I know there is an option to view image in Firefox and Safari, but I couldn’t find one in Internet Explorer.

@johnpowell share your infinite knowledge! Please?
@Eambos ah that’s why I can’t do it, I’m on my phone :-(
Thanks for telling me.

zerocarbon's avatar

you would need a wide angle lens to see in full what i got.

Hey! cprevite’s is a chocolate chip cookie with milk on the edge! I’m off to look at all those other avatars that never made sense to me!

elijah's avatar

@johnpowell well I know what I look like :-P
I guess I need to go downstairs to the computer and try it out.
Thanks guys!!

SuperMouse's avatar

Jayne’s avatar isn’t a pirate at all! It is a guy with a goofy winter hat and an angry look on his face, and eponymoushipster’s monkey seems to be stuck in a shoe or slipper of some kind! Wow, it’s a whole new world!

Mr_M's avatar

Rumor has it that if you see Daloon’s ass up close, you’ll never be the same again.

jrpowell's avatar

It is like seeing the world for the first time.

zerocarbon's avatar

All that shite clarted around the nick

syz's avatar

@SuperMouse Sacrilege! That’s Jayne from Firefly the series.

SuperMouse's avatar

@johnpowell it is! It’s like I’m Mr. Magoo with a brand new pair of glasses!

@syz who? From what?

In Safari on Mac OS, you hit control and click on the thumbnail avatar. A menu comes up; click on “Open link in new window.” Then procede to removing the _thumb from link. Not everyone’s avatar expands.

Edit: I’d like to thank my parents, the Academy and Robmandu.

elijah's avatar

I still think there should be a way to do it from my phone. It’s Saturday and I don’t want to get out of bed. In fact, I never fluther from my actual computer. Maybe once or twice.

zerocarbon's avatar

Wait until Sunday.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

I agree that I wish they could be seen bigger, too. Some I can’t even begin to make out what they are.

@elijahsuicide I enlarged you on the link. The stud & the orange bra straps. Oh, my!!! :-)

zerocarbon's avatar

@jbfletcherfan i did the same thing and honestly thought WOW this is a real looker.

gailcalled's avatar

@elijahsuicide: Have you just redefined “couch potato” for us?

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

That is interesting, I am going to tempt fate and go look at daloon’s ass cheeeks right now.

elijah's avatar

@gailcalled I’m a bed potato :-)
@jbfletcherfan and @zerocarbon thank you for the compliments. I look like a mess in that picture, but it’s one of my favorites because it reminds me of good times. But yeah, I had just worked a 10 hour shift, and then I met some friends out at a different bar and this picture was taken after hours of drinking and dancing. I look like crap but I still love it.

Mr_M's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra , Oh God! I hope you have a support group around you!!!

elijah's avatar

Do not look directly into the ass!

Mr_M's avatar

@elijahsuicide , “ass”? Now I wanna look at your avatar!!!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

AAUUUGGGGHHH!! My eyes!! Someone please get me a sharp stick to poke out my eyes!

Wow, that’s cool. I always thought the odd colors on the ass were bruises, or a disease or something. I never imagined they were pictures of the continents. I have a more profound understanding of daloon’s ass now. wait, that sounds wrong somehow.

elijah's avatar

@Mr_M not my ass! Daloon’s!

Mr_M's avatar

NOW you tell me? I was gonna ask how people turned your avatar around to look at your other side!

elijah's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra brings a whole new meaning to seeing the world :-)

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Oh hell. I’d know daloon’s ass anywhere!!! LOLLLLLLL

elijah's avatar

I need to go see if @shilolo is wearing a shark head.

casheroo's avatar

mine is obviously marilyn monroe. i didn’t know we could make the avatar’s bigger…good to know! i still won’t post a picture of me though haha.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

This will come in handy when I change my avatar to a picture of one of my pet Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. Then people can see my bugs up close and personal.

gailcalled's avatar

Shilolo is wearing his legitimate hazmat suit. He uses it for work. (Underneath it he is a very handsome fellow, I am told.)

elijah's avatar

@gailcalled so it’s not a shark hat? Damn.

Mr_M's avatar

Hey, if you look at Daloon’s cheeks up close, put a thumbtack where you live! (hehehe)

Dog's avatar

@Mr_M I just spit my coffee. Too freakin’ funny!

Mr_M's avatar

I hope he doesn’t get mad because we’re joking “BEHIND” his back?

syz's avatar

<groan>

gailcalled's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra: Maybe yoaur MH cockroaches would like to be pen pals with uberbatman’s ferocious peacock mantis shrimp,Vladimira

dragonflyfaith's avatar

@Eambos In IE right click the image and go to properties, it’ll show you the direct address on the window that follows.

chyna's avatar

@dragonflyfaith Im not getting it to work in IE. I can’t get it to erase the thumb nail.

wundayatta's avatar

I’ll have you know that my ass is turning red because, frankly, it’s a bit mortified at all you amateur proctologists! In the future, please make an appointment. I’ll see you one at a time. I’ll make sure you get all that you’re looking for!

You’ll know we’re on the right track when my ass starts to turn green. [that’s political joke, in case you were wondering]

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@daloon It’s about time you showed up to defend your posterior!!!

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@chyna My IE doesn’t work there, either.

Allie's avatar

This has turned into the ass joke thread.

wundayatta's avatar

@jbfletcherfan: I didn’t have to be here. I knew that I had you watching my back!

Mr_M's avatar

Don’t you mean “Watching your backSIDE”?

wundayatta's avatar

@Mr_M

Oh

My

God!!!

Since when did someone die and make you an English teacher?

WHAT-evuh!

dragonflyfaith's avatar

You can’t copy and paste the link into notepad and then edit it?

It’ll give you bunch of details and then mid way down an address:

http://www.fluther.com/mogilefs/images/v2/avatars/daloon/ass_thumb.jpg

Just backspace the _thumb so it looks like this

http://www.fluther.com/mogilefs/images/v2/avatars/daloon/ass.jpg

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@daloon You got it, honey. No worries here. ;-)
