Hi Chuck,
I'm not computer saavy, but I think I know what you mean. Whenever I link a picture to a post, the first time I lok at it, it shows a smaller, but complete sersion of the photo, and if I hover my cursor over it, I can click for a larger version of the same thing.
Here's where it gets strange, when I later go back and look at the picture, it is the larger picture, but chopped by the smaller dimensions, so it looks like only part of the picture is posted, but if you click on it, you can still access the whole picture.
Hope this helps,
Bill
PS, that's a cool rendering of Ming's ride!
