As you may be aware my external hard drive decided to go defunct recently with all my pictures . I have been trying to get them back on my PC, but when I open them they are very small and will not enlarge to their former size ,as they appear in my posts. Is there a way to do this. My aim is to put them to disc for viewing. thanks.........henry.

I not sure I get what has happened - have you used some disc recovery program to extract the images from the drive, if so they should be the same size, unless you have retrieved some type of thumbnail cache.
If you are retrieving images that you have previously uploaded to the web, you should be appear that most gallery sites (eg Facebook) will reduce your images to a suitable screen size when you upload and will discard the larger original you uploaded. It is only safe to use such sites for archiving if they specfically hold your uploaded image (eg Photobucket).

Hi H
Were you actually logged into BF when you tried to do that? If not you can't enlarge photos, you can only see the thumbnail size.
Otherwise, I can't see why they won't enlarge, unless it's some security setting on your PC blocking it.
Point me to one in a post and I'll see what happens on mine... the ones in your Gallery enlarge OK.

Sorry Henry
No idea how to sort that!:gh:

If you are clicking the link to my photos in the gallery, then you are seeing the thumbnail. You will have to click each image one by one, then get to the page displaying that image, and then you can right-click and use save as (notice that below the image there may be the words click on image to view larger size, do that before clicking save to get the best image).
Did this help at all?

Edit: and you probably have heard ad nauseam that you need too external hard disks, so that one acts as backup of the other.

I'm glad you got them back Henry. Bet that was a relief.
