Clicking on a Photo in UHH

I know that this is nothing new, but clicking on an image to turn the surroundings black often creates a better view of that image. This is something that I had forgotten but am doing now to get a better look. If you haven’t done this, you might try it.

Curiously, when I switched from Chrome browser to Mac's Safari, the photos now display on white. I haven't researched whether that can be changed.

But, either black or white is far preferable to mustard yellow with monochrome images and many others

I have Safari, and it’s black. Maybe there is something in the settings.

UHH has a yellow background on my computer. Clicking on an image doesn't do anything for me. I use Chrome.

Under "My Profile" at top of page, this:

On-click feature image
If enabled, you can click on an image in a post to darken the background. Makes reviewing images more pleasant.

I use Chrome also when on UHH and clicking on the photo turns the background black as it should.
I notice that, if it is a large image filling the screen, clicking on the photo turns the background black and makes the photo a little smaller. Maybe it does that so than can fit "click on image to return back" on the screen.

Thank you John and Linda. I didn't know about this feature, it really makes a difference

Thanks! I enable it and now when I click on the photo it opens another tab and goes to flicker and shows me the pictures.

The only time you're taken to flickr is when a photo is hotlinked from that site. Most folks on UHH upload photos directly from computer to these mustard-yellow pages

We're just beginning a massive heat wave and I'm already brain-cooked: I suddenly realized that when I click on the photo itself, I also get the black background - like the rest of you The white shows up when I click the download link - duh.

I thank those on this thread for this information. I, too, didn't know about the option to select black. I'll turn it on right away. Bev

I learned something new today about how to navigate and use UHH. Thank you.
