Images in chat not working properly?
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but as of today I've noticed that images sent in the chat whether they be urls or uploaded images no longer have the icons to open the image in a web browser or the ability to drag and scale the image. Is this happening to anyone else and if so has anyone found a way to fix it? You can still luckily right click and open image in a new window, but it seems odd that they would intentionally get rid of the icons to do so as well as the ability to scale the image assuming this is intentional and not a weird bug.

Those options you mentioned, the drag option in the bottom right corner, open in new window in bottom left and the top left circle are what are no longer present in the newest update. That's what I'm saying is missing.
"This image resizing in chats is brilliant, works perfectly, and helps people with bad eye sight or small monitors... - IT HAS TO GO!"

I'll keep this short and to the point:

I won't say any names or say anything ban or removal of comment worthy, but the fact I have to state such a thing should give the reader an idea of how precisely I feel right now.

I would offer legitimate criticism, but it would be ignored just like all the other people who write here. Actually, why do we even have these forums anyway?
Broken for me too. Broken or intentionally removed.
Steam embeds images really small as to not take up too much space so the feature to resize and scale the image was really handy.
Whoever thought this was a good idea should be canned.

I do not want to open a new thread on this as there is one available already, given we haven't received feedback, do we know if this feature will come back? I reached out to support who said they were aware of the change.

Not sure if it's just me, but in addition to the issues above, whenever I just click on an image in the chat to see it properly, I get this: https://i.imgur.com/WrFwnpl.png

It's very unhelpful. I get that they want to monopolise and self-contain everything, but nobody wants to open their images with a steam window.

Something wrong there with image posted?
How is the op posting the image? Drag and drop or using a snipped image?
If you rightclick it and open in new window do you get the same?
I'd suggest to the OP of the image that is posted into messenger how the imaged is uploaded as the one linked shows broken link top left corner .
!00% of my images work fine.
I use windows snip tool to grab a screenshot and just paste into the comments box. Upload.
No need to even ave them.

Not sure why Steam is getting off on removing features these days. :T
Differences: Can no longer open url in browser and can no longer resize images in chat. (can still right-click copy url or open in new window, though),
also the friend tabs at the top have smaller images for who-knows-why and there's a lot of white space on the arrow on the right

Nothing wrong with the image posted, opens just fine in browsers, it even displays in the chat window. It's an imgur link generated by the sharex screenshotting tool. It does it with EVERY image I try to open from chat, and it's only when you click to open the image in its own window.

It's an imgur link generated by the sharex screenshotting tool. << what format does save as it needs to be png

Sharex: I have it set to generate an imgur link after a few seconds after print screen. (Why? Because there are platforms where I can only send a link and not upload a picture and vice versa)
But on steam if I don't send a picture after the print screen quickly (it works perfectly fine then) if I send an imgur link it works fine BUT if they want to click on the picture it doesn't load and shows what anarchy posted above ( https://i.imgur.com/WrFwnpl.png )
Of course if you right click in new window to open it it will open it, only steam's internal system can't access the image.

Why can't steam's image viewer open the imgur link separately? Is there even an image sharer in sharex that can open in this form on steam or is this a development bug that should be reported ?
