What you need to do is right-click, not on "save picture as" but on "properties" to get the url of the file. As I say, on the picture itself it doesn't work (at least not for me) but if you go back to the thumbnail, either in the search or the photoset page, you can get it there. Use that url, but substitute for the "_s" or "_t" (just before ".jpg") either "_b" or more rarely "_o" for a really big one. Only if both come back with the "image not available" box is there no (that I can find) larger one. Hope that helps, and anyone who has further figured this out please feel free to expand.

Right. I had figured out this trick for "spaceballed" images a while ago, namely how to use the thumbnail to get the medium (no extension) or the original size (_o) image, but never even noticed the _b extension. When you reposted the undersized photos I realized my oversight and went back and regrabbed the images that were available in the _b size. Most of the images I posted were already as big as they can get, or weren't worth reposting, but there were a few that benefit from a larger size, so I'm reposting them here. So basically the next seven images are just reposts, but if you like what you saw already then it'll be worth clicking on them to see how much better they are in the larger format (including an even better frontal of the brunette just for elvis...).
