Quality advice like that makes my LUG friendships worthwhile ;-)
btw I was forced to actually look for the cause of my original issue (PDFs
and IE9) and I solved that.
Three browsers would be ridiculousness.
Empirically I guess I can stick to IE9 if I want to View Large (or educate
everyone else to just post one size as they want us to see the pics and
configure their gallery accordingly ;-) ;-)

Thanks all you responded quickly.
Cheers,
Geoff
