Avid reader, first post, etc. etc.

I don't know if my issue is unique to Malaak or throughout Spiderforest; this is the only one of the collective's strips I read.

I don't have a super-size monitor. Good old-fashioned first-gen flat panel, 1280x768. I use the RSS feed to track updates because of the unpredictable update schedule. (Not complaining about the unpredictability, what am I expecting for free?) Where the problem lies is with the shadowbox viewer one gets sent to. By forcing the whole image onto the screen, the page gets resized -- downsized -- to the point where the lettering is impossibly tiny and unreadable. Clicking the image (which in some viewers zooms in) cycles one through the sketch gallery, not useful for me. To get to a legible view, I have to click through to the chapter archive -- but that's never quite up to date (at this writing only up to V39 while the story is at V41). Clicking "Home" ( ->malaakonline.com) and then "Latest Comic" also sends one to V39. Surely I'm not the only reader out there who doesn't have the best & brightest hardware. One shouldn't have to jump through extra hoops -- or be denied the ability to read the most current strip altogether.

Could this be fixed? Add zoom to the viewer, dispense with it altogether, something? Please pass this on to the appropriate place if here isn't. Thanks for your consideration.

Huh, that is an odd thing, I have a fairly small screen myself, but I'm not getting resized like you're mentioning. OH I see (Went to the blog like you were doing...Strange those usually ARE resizable.).

I can understand your frustration over the matter.

While this is only a temporary fix, she also posts updates on her DA account: http://majnouna.deviantart.com/gallery/6551

hope this helps a bit!

I get that when i click the site as well, but if I click the image or view image i can zoom in easily also wheel button click worked for me. To get the image alone and to no have it be small. But that is me and I rarely go to the site itself.

As long as she updates tho I am slightly confused about what Malaak said in newest update.

UGH! I can't believe I never saw this thread, sorry folks! I was on retreat when it was posted and was away for several weeks afterward, so it somehow went under the radar. Deepest apologies, and I now disabled Lightbox on the Malaak blog. I hate that thing and blogger activated it automatically, so I didn't realize it was there.
Bad author – the one time a thread gets posted on the forum, it takes me 3 months to notice!
