How to see full photos if you only see thumbnails

If like me/moi/ako (why do they delete 'm'e'?), you can only see thumbnails, and only one photo, there is a way to see it full (not large) sized, and a second and third ... photos too

here is an example, a nice (curiosity killed the cat) member and some of her photos:

To enlarge a Photo
In the windows explorer browser, if you Right Click on any thumbnail, and select properties l, like this following thumbnail:
elizabethvivian2 - (apologies to elizabeth... she is the guinea-pig)
And here is lovely cris's:

You can copy-paste the image property into a browser. Edit the url, changing 'square' to 'main' Voila!
In Chrome you can right click, Copy Image Url

Surely Firefox has a similar method...

I do it by pasting the url into Excel, and changing 'square' to 'main' by formula, then using the hyperlink function:
=HYPERLINK(SUBSTITUTE(A70,".square.",".main."),"LargerPhoto")

To get more than one image if they exist
Create a blog post, make it visible only to friends, and hide it once it is created, to protect privacy. First insert small photos/thumbnails using the member x, photo1 x, photo2 x, photo3 x... tags in the blog.
Image tags are square-bracket photoX name squarebracket like {photo2 eliza...} but with square brackets. Missing photos just show the usual grey head outline.

There is one final method which works only when the main profile photo also has a large version - called a superphoto
Then Changing the .square. to .superphoto. gives you the largest version.
