If you don't like it, LET THEM KNOW. I did... told them it should at least be made optional. Said it's *kinda* neat on my desktop, but it really messes things up on my netbook's tiny screen.

dude my thoughts exactly, my stupid 1024x600 resolution drives me insane.

I can't believe people are against the new photo display script... it's better in every single way.. wtf?
Not really, why do I need to block the rest of the screen to look at a single photo? Am I not capable of looking at the photo and everything else on the screen?

- Can't right-click/Copy URL or Save as...
- Have to close it before you can click anything else (Notifications/Home/Profile/etc.)
- Too big for my netbook screen
- Has no real benefit other than putting a pretty(?) frame around the pictures
In what ways is it better? Do be specific than "every way."

I just find it more convenient.. Looking at my wall, I'll see a photo thumb I might want to check out. So now I just click on it, and a window pops up temporarily, and I can scroll through the album or close it. Before, you'd have to either open a new tab for it, or have it take over your entire current window, having to either scroll back through all the pictures you've seen, or start all over again at the Facebook home page...
Basically it has nothing but positives, I don't understand the backlash other than "it's not what we're used to and that's bad". Which seems to be what happens every time they improve Facebook...

I think it might just be my screen (13") but liking and comment viewing was difficult for me with the theatre display

yeah i agree.. the only disadvantage of it is no saving photos and copy image url etc.
i love how when someone comments on a photo, i just click the notification and when im done viewing the comments, i click outside of the small blackbox window thing and continue where i was before i got the notification.
the only reason why i disabled it right now is just for the saving pics and copy image url :/

This is better. No clicking, no page changing, auto-sizing to your screen.
Edit: additional bonus: you can turn it on and off with a single click, a courtesy not afforded by the FB black frame.

Did you READ my post? Three negatives right there.
They could at least make it optional, because it's a major PITA on my netbook.
We're all very happy it works nicely for you on your 36" screen and blazingly-fast 16-core, 48GB RAM machine. It's doesn't work so well for everyone.

Look, all I said was that I didn't understand the resistance to this. For all the negatives I've seen, there has been a simple solution. If you don't agree, fine. If you have a small screen, I can see it being a problem. But then if your screen is that small, I'm sure facebook isn't the only site you have problems with.
CTRL+R gets rid of the black frame!!! but not permanently, just for the one time you are on FB.

You were give numerous reasons why different people don't like it. What's with the dismissiveness? "It works fine for me and I like it, so any who doesn't must be stupid."

I didn't say anything about anyone who disagrees with me. I just said I don't see their point. All the "reasons" given, I have counterpoints for all those arguments. So I still don't get it, sorry.
