Opening an image in a new tab?

Moving this to its own topic…

Anywhere the interface can be streamlined in terms of the required bandwidth and processing power would be a big help. When it takes several minutes to open an image to get a close enough view to see certain features needed for ID, it’s a limiting factor (I do really wish it was possible to right-click an image to then load just that image in a new tab in the background- sites where I can do that, similar-sized images seem to load a lot faster than they do in the iNat setup where they load as an overlay on the current page that moves around as you move your mouse instead of having scrollbars and whatnot). That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the site developers have already put a lot of effort into that already, so I’m not sure how much that can feasibly be improved.

? I just right click the text of the observation to get it in a new tab.

I mean the images featured at the observation, not the observations themselves. This is really weird, though- I just opened an observation to check what I’m talking about to describe it and the first time I right-clicked the icon of the photo I wanted to open I got the dropdown that has options like “back” “forward” “reload” etc. Then I right-clicked it again and got the “open in a new tab” etc dropdown, letting me do what I just described wanting to do- the things I don’t understand about web UI could apparently fill a book. I don’t understand why I get different results on different attempts, but after getting the first one once, I assumed that would always be the case.

That might help me out a bit in speed of sorting through observations.
