I'm forwarding this message from Furplay to this group because I'm sure
that somebody will want to use the information.

I got this from another Y-group:

Hi all, Possibly some among yours noticed yet Yahoo's idea to
charge people for viewing full size versions of pics in Yahoo
briefcases. Since a while it was impossible to hit the link of
fullsize pics in briefcases and NOW actually we got the same
problem in a lot (all ??) of groups.

You can test it out for example in our photos section with the
xxxxxxxx pics (xxxxxx albums). You will get only the screen size
version !

Now to the important thing for our group members...

There is a way to to sidestep this problem:

Hit on the pic which you want to see and the screenversion
comes up.

Copy this line ---> &.hires=t

Click in your browser's address bar behind the last letters
(...view=t) and paste the line into. Then hit your Enter key and the
high resolution pic comes up.

I'm aware that this way is associated with a bit work using the
copy and paste functions but it is at moment the only way to
reach full size pics without paying for that service.

Hope that is a little help for you (who like to view great works in
low resolutions *grin* ^__^ )

I've tried this in several groups and it works!!! Good luck and
happy viewing,

the Beerman

The fix works very well (so far). I've tried it myself.
