How do I avoid this. I'm guessing you drag and dropped you're images. There are 2 ways to remedy this. The simple way is now to double click on your image and check the box that says Keep original aspect ratio, which is underneath the size. The other way is to drop and drag your images from another place: when you go to the zoom page of an image and click on the image, it normally opens a preview and when you click on that, it offers you to download it. But when you click on it holding the shift key and right click on the image (in both cases) the normal context menu will appear and one of the options, usually the first, will be view this image. When you click on that, the image opens in it's own page and you can drag and drop from there and it will not be distorted. In the edit box here on the forum, you can check that: have you ever wondered what that small magnifying glass in the left hand corner between Size and GIF does? Well it's not search as you would expect, it's a preview in 3 sizes: desktop tablet and phone. Before you change anything, use those on your post: the images are squashed in the smaller sizes. Now check those check boxes for Keep original aspect and go to this preview again. There's at least a third option and that's using the link from the address line of your browser and insert that. Or even a fourth option: use a different line from you address line, change a location, and use that.

NYCat Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Oh my goodness, Wim. My head is spinning. I am using Safari on a Mac and my method is to enlarge the image in the image manager and right-click to copy the URL. The images are smaller but I can make them bigger (and squashed) by changing zooms to comp (or the other way around) in the URL The vertical images don't get squashed so I usually do change the URL for them.

Paulette Now you know you can also use that checkbox. If your images are showing up, that's the easiest way. You can use that preview to see if you need it. Or make your browser smaller or open it on your phone; tablet; your watch... 😂 wim edit: when checked in the preview, your method is absolutely fine. I see no reason your horizontal images would be squashed. Edited October 13, 2020 by wiskerke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Maybe to explain the squashing a bit more: this is a problem with dragging and dropping an image from the zoom page, which was introduced when right clicking was disabled on that page and on the pop-up zoom. I could probably find out why this is, but I'm too lazy and there's an easy remedy with that check box Keep original aspect ratio. Only: you have to know, that for that you have double click the image in your post. Not many will ever do that. Or even know it exists. Plus that it can be used for this, not just to resize your image as it says it does. But that it also works on the automatic resizing the forum code does. AFAIK this squashing problem does not exist when using the URL of the image. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best "proposal" was from a satirical political party to fill it with dirt, and make it the world's biggest flower pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I avoid this. I think you've gotten the answer already but just in case here's how I do it (also on a Mac and Safari): I find the images I want to use in the normal image browser, then go into the details to see the image and drag the image up into the browser tabs so that it opens a new tab with that image only. Then I right click/two finger click on the image and copy the URL. That URL I use in my post via "Insert image from URL". Might not be the smartest way but it works for me. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
