max photo sizes

[Gibbo]

Well, we had a look at this today and the same thing was evident on Paul's Samsung android phone. We noticed that the thing in common with the photos that get cropped is that they are hosted somewhere other than the forum such as photo bucket etc. Photos posted directly to the forum do not get cropped. This is only related to mobile devices and is not evident on a pc. Landscape layout images that are hosted externally are cropped, vertically on the right hand side, to fit a uniform width. Portrait layout images are not cropped at all.

I'm not sure I can provide any more than that and have absolutely no idea why it is happening

Great feedback Gibbo, cheers...
Maybe best if everyone posts straight to the forum then ?

Or we get rid of our mobile devices

The advantage of hosting elsewhere is that your photos are then available to share in lots of different places. Also, and this is me thinking of your and Paul's bank balances, much less space is taken up on your forum if people host their images off site.

I would have thought that someone else using this forum software is having or has had the same problem though. Another forum I use, Alfa Romeo Owners Club, is on the same software and does not have this issue so there must be an answer. If need be I could give you contact details for the guy who is the webmaster for that forum. It might be good protocol if I checked with him that that is ok first though if you wish to go that route
