==Your Larger-format uploads of Tolkien's Art==

Greetings,

A number of your recent uploads of Tolkien's original art don't seem to 'work'. For example, the 2,240x1,200 pixel upload of The Hobbit dustcover. Clicking on that size button takes one to the default thumbnail, not the full-sized image.

Do you know why that is? Can it be remedied? There are a number of your uploads that would be very desirable to have...

Thanks,

:Hello! This is a persistent issue and I find it incredibly annoying. It happens with many images and I have no idea why. I've asked this a couple times on the server, only to be told "just reload your cache and it will fix itself", but it never does. I have no idea why this is caused or how to fix it; Image reuploading is incredibly scuffed on what is an otherwise close to perfect site. Obviously an inconvenient solution but if there's any specific pieces you want sent, ping me and I'll send them directly to ya. I'll let you know if I find a real solution.

::Thank you (!), I will do that.
::On a related topic, I have looked and looked for information regarding the physical size of Tolkien's original art and have found nothing. Do you happen to have a source for that kind of information?
::Thanks, again,

::Greetings Paccyd33,
::Well, I have finally gotten around to creating my list of large-format images that I am keen to have. This is a fairly long list. I don't want this to be a burden, so I will be happy with even a subset of this list :-) Also, this is low priority, so take your time.
::Thanks!!
