When you single left click a pic, it does go to the full size pic. If you use the back button though, it takes you back to the original page. Noticed this a long time ago. The simple fix is to right click and open in a new window. Another option is to view the page, click all over if you want, then go back and click the 'thanks' as you see fit. Another thing that sometimes happens is if you navigate away from the page before your 'thanks' uploads, it doesn't show up. I've also seen 'thanks' fall of if the post has been modified such as a moderator removing a watermarked picture.
I click the thanks for pictures that I actually download and keep. Some members seem to treat this like a video game though and will only post more if they get a certain number of thanks. I usually REMOVE my thanks from these, even if I liked their post.
The fact that this site hosts all the pics themselves is my favorite feature! The third party hosts are notorious for pop-ups, pop-unders, fake virus scans, and assorted other bullshit! When I click a picture on OCC, I get a picture. Not a video-chat ad, no auto run commercials for toilet cleaners and cold medicine. Just a picture in whatever quality it was uploaded in. Anyone who has ever had to re-install an operating system to recover from a virus can appreciate the value of a self-hosted site!
Thanks OCC!
Moderator's Note: I like your last paragraph and I feel the same way as a user of the forum. It is important to note that it is much more expensive to run a forum this way without financial support of advertisers. The pop-ups etc you speak of are the result of post for cash posters. These people do a good job of posting content and contributing to the forums, but they get paid to do it. It is very annoying and your point about OCC is that its simply an old fashioned free adult forum and when you click it you get it without a hassle.
