Megocreations sent me a message last night. She missed the old days where the item images weren't cropped after being uploaded. She was right.. why should you have to make your images a square shape to not loose the original look and feel you had gone for? I'm not big on making life difficult, and I'm not big on disappointing the Ekasters :-) So I could not think of anything better to do at 8:30pm on Friday night then to make a switch that would allow users to decide how their images would look on their profile.
As a disclaimer the only images that were being cropped on user profiles were the item images that were displayed in item sections on the userpage and on item section pages.
Anywhoooo about 35 minutes later the switch was made, I went ahead and fixed Megans images as a surprise and wholla!
.
You can set what type of image dimension your items will appear as in the item settings page.
Seriously though folks - if you don't like something let us know. We love a good challenge!
