wordpress photos are supposed (and were) clickable so you can chose to see the larger version, I noticed a week or so ago mine were not clickable any more, well not for me, so I have been displaying a larger photo in the post, can any readers of my blog click a photo to get a larger version?
I am wondering if it is my computer/browser that won’t let me click through or wordpress, if anyone can tell me why they are not clickable to a larger version I would be pleased to know, thanks in advance, F.

No they don’t enlarge. It is possible that wordpress.com may have introduced some restrictions or have a maximum amount of space you can use and you have reached it but I wouldn’t think so.
Go to your Media Library or edit one of your photos from your blog and check to see that the Size option is set to Full Size and not Medium. If you have set one to medium in the past that may have become the default. Second, more obvious, thing is are you sure you have uploaded large photos and not resized them before uploading? If you upload photos that are the same size as they appear in your blog they cannot be enlarged.
Apart from that I don’t know as the implentation of wordpress on wordpress.com is different to that we use on Island Blogging.

Thanks Les, I do resize my photos but not this small, I usually make landscape photos 600 pixels on the longest side and portrait a bit smaller as they were coming up too big in the blog post at 600pix, wordpress are saving at full size now, you were right as they were at medium when I noticed they were not clicking through, but I have noticed that full size is at 500 pixels wide in my wordpress so I will have to find how to change this, I have had a look in the settings where the size is and the boxes were blank so maybe that has something to do with it,

If it’s the same as IB the size for the image which appears in your blog is set under Settings|Miscellaneous. In theory if you set this at, say 300 x 300 then anything bigger should enlarge when you click on it.

I noticed that the photos no longer enlarged several weeks back. They also seemed to have stopped that little preview that would come up if you moused over the photo too.
