It is much worse if I do not constrain. Huge images do not display

Not if people give up in disgust and close the web page. Open the
damn images in Paint, GIMP or any other graphics manipulation program
and reduce them to 10 or 25% of the original size, then save them as
thumbnails.

But I already display thumbnails on the index page.

So, my logic is, you look at the index page, pick pictures you want,
and then look at them in the picture page -- where it makes sense to
display it full size.

You're just being lazy and wasting a hell of a lot of bandwidth.
You don't notice it on a local system, but it is damn annoying
online. It's your choice, but a lot of people who might be
interested in something, or be able to help will just stop looking
at anything you post. I know that I have.

You can always just look at the index page -- which is what I usually
post -- and then pick one or two pictures if you really want to look
at them.

Who just got off the phone talking to a Google ad optimization specialist.

Yawn. So, now you've sold your soul to Google?

They pay me for ads, not for soul.
