Posts with large images / posts which are otherwise too wide!

Sure, they should have used [lvl
shot][/lvl
shot] tags, but they didn't. But they way HLP handles them, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the current post to get to the scroll bar, and then back up to the image you want to look at. Or open the image in a new tab.
IMO this is not an acceptable workaround. I suggest something where the entire page expands, or where the images collapse unless individually toggled to expand (
à la scifi-meshes.com). Preferably a solution where the horizontal scroll action on a touchpad will actually do something, as well.
Edit:The onus shouldn't be on the poster, or on the viewer. Especially considering there are countless other websites that do it right.
