Just sayin’.

In order to view media on DU, a VPN is required which messes up my work client platform.

Just wish DU could come up with a filter that eliminates the issue. Likely not possible.

5. I don't really care what it is, I want to know why the poster made it a tiny square. I'm not on a cell phone.

6. I didn't "make" it a small size -- that's the only source I had. There are ways to resize graphics that aren't supported

in DU, but came with the original pic.There are ways around that, but they don't work on every site, so a good deal of trial and error may be involved. I avoid X like Ebola, so I'm least familiar with the workarounds for graphics from that site -- I just know they're out there.

New jpg has a name differing from the old by two characters. Probably a convention used by this poster only, so it might not work next time. C'est la vie.

If a graphic is too small for you, you can usually select it, choose "open in a new tab/page" (all browsers will let you do this *somehow* ) and then use "view --> zoom in (command + )" repeatedly in the new tab. I reposted the jpg at a slightly higher definition so it should be more legible, but it looks like it's been converted between different formats more than once, so a bit blurry.
