For those of us who are exif hogs, theres a nifty plugin for firefox called FxIF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5673).
What it does is it adds a menu item on the flyout menu when we right click on a photo here on DPP (or on any website for that matter). If the exif data on a posted photo is intact, FxIF will tell us what it is, without us having to hunt for the poster's flickr or picasa account to find out.
The only time it will not work is if the exif data was not uploaded with the photo to begin with, but if it is it saves the viewer a lot of time trying to figure it out or asking the photographer for it.

It also provides a Copy button in case you want to save the exif data.
Is there an Internet Explorer equivalent? Not that I know of right now, but there is an online exif viewer that does not require any downloads.
It's Jeffrey's Exif Viewer (http://regex.info/exif.cgi) and you can find it here (http://regex.info/exif.cgi).
Jeffrey even provides a button for Firefox users that has the almost the same functionality as the FxIT plugin.
Thanks to John Bueno of the Nocturnals for mentioning FxIT for Firefox on the D60KREW thread.
