Previously, thread thumbnails were full images - but after the kbin update, every single one is cropped and we are only seeing half the image.
This looks awful and is functionally a degradation of quality.
Is there any way to revert this change?

Actually, the previous thumbnails were cropped. You saw only a part of the image in its full dimensions. Now, it’s the entire image scaled to a rectangle. It is possible to restore the previous view, and I will add the option for configuration.
Updated: this issue is now resolved.
I suspect theres a bug as some thumbnails are still being cropped.

Edit: it also appears to crop images in the threads themselves (as seen with the screenshot posted on this reply)

Hey can you give a link to that page, thanks

The image being sent from the server appears to be cropped. Checking the code sending the thumbnail, it looks to be correct [ref].
(Disclaimer: It’s been over 10 years since I looked at PHP code, so I could be wrong about what this code is doing)
