I will Matt but yes but I'm helping cook dinner and can't be distracted - I know it would take you 10 secs!

What happens Rob if you click on the pic rather than the name of the pic? in those screen shots Rob, you've opened the picture in a new tab (by clicking on its name, rather than the image, I think)

Jon, I'll tell you what happens - it works! However if I enlarge it to full screen I can't scroll, can you? But that is opening a new window.

You are my saviour. There are so many things like this with computers that might be obvious to others but not me.

My new computer has NO instructions - just get on with it. Manufacturers just assume that everyone is an expert or thinks like them#
Thank you Jon.

Matt, on the old system was the filename shown?

Hooray!
How do you go full screen? Might end up with the pic in a new tab again.

That's how I'd do it too - once you're in a new tab with the pic, you've lost all the code that made the scrollable gallery. It's just a static picture in a new browser window. Once you want to zoom into a pic on ebay etc you lose the gallery functions too don't you?
