Wow. This site has gotten very immature! Moderator needed!

Submitted by fiji on April 19, 2009 to Website suggestions

Problem: I remember a few months ago or in 2008 this site was more mature than it is now. There are tons of attention seeking teens (aka Agent11) posting unhelpful and discouraging posts. Microsoft employees won't take this site seriously.

Solution: This site needs a moderator or a system of moderation.

Make a simple way to view a full-size image

Submitted by nyp on August 1, 2009 to Website suggestions

Problem: Currently, if you want to view an image at full-size, you need to right-click on the image, choose View Image and then manually edit the address bar.
This gets very annoying to do after a while.

Solution: Anything will work. Lightbox, direct linking to the image, on-page resizing...

Severity: Low

Impact: Medium

Status: Fixed

Added a link that opens original image in new window/tab.
