Shift & R improves the image!

[Coinery]

Can anyone expand on my understanding of the 'shift & R/A' action?

Basically, I'm putting together a little website, just to sell off my duplicate George coins [and maybe a few others] but, whenever I browse the site 'live', I'm having to Shift & R/A to see each image (including my logo) in its full 'sharpness' (I notice this too when browsing eBay images).

So, is this something I can't avoid? Is this just a part of the web-browsing experience, or is it a setting on my computer? Would everyone else view my site and have to Shift R/A to view it at its best?

I believe that is something to do with your own internet connection and limited bandwidth, therefore other people would not see that suggestion unless they had the same restrictions in place.

Brilliant, thanks, Colin. I only have a 3G dongle to work with, so that would explain it! Really put my mind at rest!

I've never heard of a 'shift' + key combination being used in that way, it's usually Ctrl or Ctrl-Shift etc. Is that an I-phone thing?

Anyway, pressing Shift-R or A makes no difference to my web browsing experience.

Yes its to do with phone browsers, some networks reduce the bandwidth by limiting the picture size until you request an improved image. i have never had it happen on my i-phone, but I have heard of other mobile users having similar issues.

Thanks Colin. I just did a quick google to find out about it and it seems to be that some mobile internet providers have enabled high image compression by default to reduce the amount of bandwidth eaten up by downloading hi-res pictures. It also appears that it can be turned off if so desired and you're happy to pay for the consequences.

On the iPhone the screen it too small for it to make a difference, but on the laptop with Orange Dongle it really screams at you! Every image you move your curser over (including buttons [pay now, etc.]) you get a small pop-up telling you to shift and F to improve the image. It's quite time consuming when you're wanting to do a bit of quick sniping, as the 'improved image' isn't an instant thing, can sometime take a second or two! However, the mobile Internet is cheap enough, so can't complain!
