This is ridiculous. Currently FB limits your feed photos to 400px (horizontal and vertical).

It looks like they are increasing it to 550px.

This, literally, makes no sense. Current monitors can easily support 1000px horizontal, and, as a photographer, I wouldn't consider that quality.

Both FB and G+ suck as photo galleries. I want to see large beautiful photos, not 550px thumbnails.

Yesterday (or was it the day before?) I found out that you can use the mouse wheel to enlargen photos on G+.

I just tried it. Mouse wheel just scrolls the page up and down.

It's Ctrl + Mouse wheel

That's using your browser then no?

That's just the browser zoom. It doesn't increase the quality of the photos.

This is a demo of what it looks like for me:

Dunno what to tell you. :/ It does need mouse focus, but I imagine you tried that. I did not need to use Ctrl.

I was talking about the feed, not the closeup gallery view.
