That's a stunningly stupid decision on egroups/yahoo's part. They create a
Photos area so members can share images, allow people to upload large
detailed images (taking more disk space than small images), and then almost
nobody is allowed to see the detail.

In some other groups, people have adapted by putting their images into the
Files section, and ignoring Photos. You lose the visual browser, but everyone
can get the full-resolution image files.
