When opening a photo in the large viewer and clicking the 1:1 option -and the image is larger than the frame- there will be scrollbars.
Using the mouse's scroll wheel (or shift+scroll wheel for horizontal) with the cursor hovering over the image however does not scroll the image, rather the forum thread behind it.
added:
On desktop you can work around this behaviour by hovering over the scroll bar while using the scroll wheel or simply click and drag.
However on mobile there are no scroll bars, which means you cannot pan around the image.
