Hmm, I see what you mean. Here are a couple things to try:

* Re-upload the image and re-insert it into the post. It's possible the original was corrupted somehow during the upload process.
* Try saving the image in a different format (JPG) and re-uploading/re-inserting.

Let us know if you have any luck with this -- if not, we'll look into it further. Thanks!

I noticed today that one of my pages suddenly is not displaying large images correctly. They show up fine in the post editor, but occur distorted and darkened in the thumbnails I put in my post (linked above, starting about halfway down; click the image to see the full one and how different it is than what's displayed).

Anyone know a way to fix this?

This is a bug specific to "retina" or Hi-DPI devices (like iPad, iPhone, and some newer Macbooks). We're aware of the problem but don't have a fix quite yet. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience while we work on it!

Just checked in on my blog from Safari on iPad and noticed that the photos on the image slider on the main page are stretched horizontally. Anyway to fix that? Admittedly, I haven't looked at the blog in different browsers, so how knows maybe this is also happening elsewhere...

Images on my WordPress site, Whitt88, now are showing up distorted (pinched horizontally, stretched vertically). Double-clicking on the photo, or consulting the picture held in the library make the image show up properly. Could you please help by identifying what went wrong and providing a method to correct these errors?

I'm currently located on remote Pacific Island where satellite internet access is only occasional and limited to small villages - each mega of data counts. If you could provide an easy, quick solution to a distant, outdoor, non-programmer like myself, I would be most grateful. If not, I'll mark my WordPress site private and deal with it when I return to 'modernity.' I do regret that the effort I put into sharing on WordPress is currently going to waste.

Do have a Happy Equinox nevertheless, Whitt88

When I edited the post in the HTML editor tab, I found that you had just the opening div tag, but since I couldn't find any purpose for it, I removed it rather than following it with the closing div tag.

As for your post now, I only see two photos inserted, and they appear to be displaying properly.

I removed it, and everything appears to be in order now.

Go to settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “Save Changes.”

Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal. If not, open the next post and do the same thing until it goes back to normal.

Again, help is greatly appreciated.

body {color:#C1CDCD;}

I am new to using the CSS editor, and I am having a bit of trouble getting started. I have read several tutorials which suggest changing ONLY the lines of code which you want changed. With that said, I have been trying to make simple changes so I can get the feel for how this editing stuff works. The problem is that every time I make even a simple adjustment I get a distorted change in the page. No matter what change I make, the distortion is always the same. See example below; hopefully someone can help me correct the error of my ways. I'm sure this is a simple fix, your help is greatly appreciated in advance.

For example: Let's supposes I want to change the "body" color from #555555 to say #C1CDCD. Here is how I am attempting to do it.

Background info: I am using the "Enterprise" theme and the web address is http://macro1trader.wordpress.com/

Original Code:

body {
background: #F0F0F0;
color: #555555;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
margin: 0 auto 20px;
padding: 0;
line-height: 20px;
}

My Changes:

body { color: #C1CDCD;}

I've seen different posts and answers to questions concerning image distortion. But my question is not quiet like that.

The different sidebar elements come out relocated and distorted depending on users browser and screen resolution. I've tried to validate the code and nothing seems wrong

How do i solve this matter?

I did notice however, your March 2nd entry has a distorted image, which is smaller than what is being displayed and is being stretched out with either html code or css.

any other ideas?

It does show fine once you click into the full image in firefox with the magnifying glass. [edit - Same goes for IE7 by the way]
