Proposal

Where you see this symbol: Click for details on an image you can click on the image to learn more.


  • Clickable images gain an arrow at bottom right, to signal to the users that the image is clickable.

Users are not currently reading the italic text that tells you that the image is clickable.

Note: These green boxes with a cursor in them would be added in the template, so we don't have to do it for each page.


Possible wordier solutions

In some cases we might want more words with the arrow. The strongest case for this is on the front page, which is the first time the arrow will be seen.
