Problem with vbgarage pictures - BMW Forum

thekid · 12-05-2006, 06:22 PM

When I click on the pictures in the vbgarage (I believe any ones, I tried Furious and Torque) it opens the picture but resizes my browser to roughly the size of the tool bars (1440x900 resolution, so small)... so yeah that's kinda weird. I'm using Fire Fox 2. In Opera it doesn't seem to be an issue. Any one else experiencing this? It's prolly an extension problem... but... maybe not.

yes I have the same problem...I hate it! It happens (for me) in IE 7, Firefox (mac and PC) and safari....what I do to get around it is open the link in a new tab....so it doesn't resize the window....but that's just a work-a-round...not a fix...

It opens fine for me... in Forefox... it opens a new window but a little smaller...

Not sure... just a browser problem..

Good question, that's what I would like to know... in addition to why it resizes so small... oh well... an extra mouse click isn't too bad I guess.

edit:

I guess like this...

I didn't think it could resize FF unless it launched a new window... but apparently it can. Perhaps it's because i have mine set to open in new tabs instead of new windows?

Ive found that the new tab/window that opens to contain the selected pic is almost squashed shut. I have to go up there and drag it open so I can see the content. Using the latest version of IExplorer.

remove the resize call from the code, simple as ABC

I find that I just need to click on it once or twice extra to enlarge teh window. A pain, but not too bad really...
