Can you post a link to your website?

here it is

If your theme has a custom CSS option, use it; otherwise, get a custom CSS plugin and try:

.view img {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
}

You can try different values for height, but be aware that since you’re essentially forcing square pegs into round holes, some values may look worse than others.

thanks for the reply. do you know why it is doing this in the first place??
Many thanks

What’s happening is that your theme is resizing the images to fit within a container that’s a certain number of pixels wide, but leaving the height proportional. So for example, an image that’s 600 pixels wide and 800 pixels tall that gets resized to fit within a 200 pixel wide container get resized to 200 pixels wide and 266 pixels tall, but an image that’s 600 pixels wide and 1400 pixels tall gets resized to 200 pixels wide and 466 pixels tall.

What my code does is tell the browser to resize the image like normal, but make the height of the image 200 pixels no matter what. The 200×266 pixel image would look fine, but the 200×466 pixel image would look kind of strange.

The practical thing here is to not worry too much about the math behind it and just focus on using your eyes.

ahh ok i see thanks for the info. i was just wondering why it did it for some post images and not others and how i could prevent this from happening in the future.
Many thanks
