When I open a photo someone posts in the forum the only way I can get out of it is to click on back and that puts me back to the home page rather than back to the post. Can someone tell me how to just get back to the post. thanks.
 
Hey John,

Which browser are you using? On my end, clicking anywhere outside the picture frame makes it close. I don't see an x button to close it.

Pssst — don’t let anyone else know… There is an invisible X in the upper very far right of the photo popup just above the word “location” in the “Show in original location" link. To the immediate left of the invisble X there is an invisible “open in new window” link just above the end of the word “original”. (You can also do as Fadi said and click outside the frame to close it.) Open the attached file to “see” the invisibles — which are probably just white symbols on a white background.

Owen, I'm not going to tell anyone either, but I found the invisibles.

It must be a conspiracy.
