Hey Christopher, in the media section, when you click on the thumbnails to make them bigger, they become so huge that you can't really tell what they are, and they don't get smaller, could you find a way to make them get smaller when you click on them? Thanks.
Molly, what web browser are you using? When you click on a thumbnail the image should load (it will be huge as it loads) and then it should shrink to fit the size of the browser window. I know that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), Internet Explorer 6 (IE6), and all versions of Firefox (FF) have this feature.

The feature was first integrated into IE with IE 6, and is available on IE 6 (which is run on all Windows Millennium Edition (ME), Windows 2000 and Windows XP by default) and IE 7 (which can be installed on Windows XP and is distributed with Windows Vista). It might be turned off on your browser. More info on adjusting the setting in IE 6 or IE 7 here or here.

The images will shrink after they are fully loaded. Make sure that the status bar (the bar right above the task bar) says Done on it.

Right now when you click on a thumbnail, it loads the actual image (which can be seen if you look at the URL as an image loads). If I wanted to shrink the images, I would have to do one of 2 things -

1. Go through every image and resize it using some photo editing software
2. Code a page for every image that would not allow the image to exceed a set side

Here are screenshots of what the images should look like -
