   Dear lovely @feditips , or anyone else, please how do I get images back to normal on my desktop? They are fucking massive and a pain in the arse. It's not like I can even see them in one go. Please make it stop!

     Settings/preferences (may be a cog icon)
     Appearance
     Scroll to find the crop image option.

     Yeah, the setting should be there regardless of whether you use the default interface or advanced interface.

     It's in Preferences > Post Layout > Crop Images

     I've attached a screenshot of it. Is this option there on your preferences?

     I'm wondering if this problem is caused by changes they made recently on mastodon.social which remove the cropping. It means some images can look way too big if they are very tall-shaped images.

     Oh dear, looks like Mastodon's latest version (which your server mastodon.social is testing) has removed this option.

     This is not a good thing at all... hopefully they reverse this change. They sometimes test things on mastodon.social first to check if there are problems.

     Am I just not seeing it at all? I don't seem to have a post layout option?

     It's as bad as that? 😞

     Could you show me a screenshot of the problem, just in case it isn't due to the new changes?

     I expect he's too busy these days to respond to this, but I hope @Gargron is aware of this issue.

     I guess for now I just have to block all images because the web browser is unusable now.

     OK, so I think since my initial gripe and me responding to notifications this morning they fixed it. I can't find the original example image I used, but other images seem to be displaying normally now. Clearly I just needed to be patient. Thank you everyone though :)

     No problem, this is definitely a flawed update and I hope they fix it!

     Glad to hear the current images are slightly less frustrating though.
