No. That's the rating system, a way for people to rate your work and get it into the weekly showcase.
The plus and minus buttons are the zoom buttons, but they just scale the image for the user, it's just a dynamic zoom feature. Those buttons are the reason you don't need to pre-zoom, since viewers can just choose how big to view your work on their own! However, those buttons work best if your original uploaded image is not pre-zoomed.
Thank you so much for letting me know! I clicked the furthest to the left box underneath the plus and minus buttons. I'm not sure if this fixes the issue, hopefully it does!!

You don't need to pre-zoom yout work for PJ, the site has zoom buttons. This goes for your candle piece, too.
Oh my goodness, haha! I understand what you mean now. I'll be sure to fix this by uploading the original, un-zoomed. Thanks again youre a lifesaver.
