Closed the tab and opened a new one, but I still get the ad when I click on either link. Still, using it to search for the ad, I can't find it, so it's gone, just not according to my computer.

I've had that same problem too and I have an image converter the only way i was able to enlarge those types of pictures was to write them in .pdf format workaround

once in .pdf format you can enlarge to any size without degradation of the image.But some .pdf 's files are too large to post on forums,especially this one. 19.5kb max.

BTW- Flagged on this end too

Thanks, but doesn't this require a licensed copy of Adobe?

I did finally get the 'flagged' message just now on both links.

No. But I did have to purchase an Image Converter software.I bought this software because it had a .pdf writer in it.And when I write to .pdf it says adobe document so they must have a license with them.I bought the unlimited version which also entitles me to download any of their software and they have all kinds audio,video,image,DVD,etc...I think it was like $50-60 for the unlimited meaning forever the other was a 1 year subscription for $30-40 heres a screenshot of the software.Sure beats the $400+ price tag of Adobe Acrobat don't it.

AVS4you.com It is only Windows compatible though so if your using MAC/Linux you can't use this software.

If you have an image like that in your cache, you should be able to right click on it and "save as". No need to convert the format. Same for an image that is still live on the web.
Some images are not in a format that you can not right click, or are protected. Not seen that on craigslist, tho.

I've encountered images like that too, as GM noted no matter what you do,you can resize them and they still stay as a thumbnail.And the only way that I was able to change the size was writing in .pdf tried all other formats,right clicking "Save As" everything and then when you check your image there is that dumb thumbnail.Maybe the image just didn't like my computer I don't know.

Image Viewer & Conversion FREEWARE. I use this. It breaks the rule 'that if its too good to be true, it probably is'.

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

Marshall.

p.s. Also download the Plug-ins.

Well if you are right clicking on the thumbnail image, you'll get a thumbnail image. :doh:

For some reason or other most of the Freeware that I have ever tried usually develops issues,compatibility issues,or messes with other software on my computer.
