Prior to the last forum upgrade, closing a viewed photo was easy; just click on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner. Now, the "X" is gone and the viewer has to guess to hit the ESC (Escape) key to close the photo and return to browsing the thread.
My suggestion would be to either return the missing "X" or put a small message like "ESC to close" somewhere on the edge of the photo.

You can just move the cursor off the photo and click on the post. I still see the X, but it doesn't work.
I still see the "X" and it still works. Probably varies with browser. I use Safari on a Mac.

I'm using Safari also, on a MacBook Air, and I no longer see that "X" on the upper right hand corner of photos. Ever since the most recent forum "up-grade".
Rich will look into this...thanks guys!

This has always worked for me as well - just click anywhere outside the area of the image and it will close.
Same as John H & Byrdie here as well.
What I have noticed about viewed photos.
On my iMac I have to use the (esc key) to close a photo. On Google Chrome.
On my iPhone the (X) is still available to close a photo.
On the iPhone OGR App still works well and the avatar has a new look.

FWIW - using Firefox on a MAC, two of the three photos posted by Trainroomgary have the "X" in the upper right corner and indeed clicking on that X closes the photo. For the first photo, it looks like its getting displayed with perhaps a portion of the top cut off - if so - the X is not present. Although, as others have noted, its really a simple matter of clicking outside the frame of the photo to make it disappear (close).
Seems like the photos are opening larger than the viewable area on screen. I just scrolled down and the X appeared. Yes- clicking outside the image closes it as well.
The pictures on my screen don't scroll, just the background posts.

Mine too. I found that going into the browser settings and reducing the zoom from 100% to 75% will bring the "X" on the photo into view. But then after closing the picture, I don't like the 75% zoom.
In the meantime, clicking anywhere outside the photo to close it sounds like a good idea to me.
