I like the format of the site, what bothers me is how the original photo quality is degraded significantly by Viewbug. Example, here are 2 links to the exact same photo. It has been uploaded to Viewbug and also DA.

Update: This update is in reply to ViewBug T. [ViewBug Rep]
The image from deviant art I posted is actually what you see if you choose to zoom in. I was trying not advertise the DA site, thats why I linked directly to what you are shown.
But here is the link with the DA borders etc

Now, what is really puzzling, when I click on the photo from viewbug's version, It does not zoom in and get clearer, it actually zooms out only, showing either the "compressed version" or a smaller "compressed version"

The photo never becomes better than "compressed"
I totally understand why images are compressed (saves space)
Also, thank you for taking time to talk about the issue. Again, I really like the format of the site, I just feel let down by image quality. Maybe I am missing something, but as far as I can tell, the view is always presented with the compressed image, with no way to zoom in or view the photo in better detail.
Thanks.

Hello Dizzle,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
We’ve reviewed both provided links and do not see a difference between the two photos on our end even though the link from deviantart.net is the original file of the photo vs the one from viewbug.com is the link to the photo, not the original file. As you may know; all websites will display a compressed version of the image to optimize faster loading and for security reasons so that image can't be stolen.
Please kindly contact our member support team via email at members@viewbug.com and provide the link to the image from deviantart.net (not the original file), and we’ll be happy to compare it with the one from viewbug.com
We value your membership and would like to learn more about how we can improve your experience with us. We look forward to hearing from you!
Have a nice day!
