Posted photos with dodgy aspect ratios?

[Freddyfruitba...]

I'm sure this has been asked here before somewhere, but why are so many photos posted on BCF stetched out, like the one below I just posted? Is there a way of fixing this?

It's a problem with you not me.

At 2448x3264 pixels that picture is far too big really and the forum software does a crude job of making it fit without distorting the layout.
If you can resize to about 800 pixels longest side it will fit and display as uploaded.
You could add a link to larger size but no real need for that example.

Looks normal to me too.

I think the problem's at your end.

What browser?

Does zooming in or out make a difference? (ctrl and + or ctrl and - to zoom. ctrl and 0 to reset).

Interestingly. Now I'm on a different PC, it's deformed.

Your original looked fine on a windows 7 PC running forefox. It looks deformed on a linux PC running firefox and chrome.

For interest, this is the image you originally posted.

EDIT: Still elongated on the linux box BUT if I zoom in so the width of the image hits the page boundry (So I have to hit ctrl and + about three times), the ratio fixes itself.
