The new cropped thumbnails are awful. Is there any way to revert? (kbin.social)

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.

Example: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/142699/watership-down

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

Looks to be fixed now.
