What is the behavior for sizing pictures in rapids these days?

It used to be that a photo I uploaded, then added as a photo
for a rapid was resized to about 300 pixels wide.

Now it the photos appear much wider (732 pixels) today (but
still not full width which is about 1200).

I've been choosing photos for how they look at the old default
width of 300 pixels. Should that change now?

Can we affect the default behavior?

Skip,

I entered this into the bug tracker a few daze ago (Ticket # 592). We need to be confident that the rightsizing of photos stays consistent, so that we don't have to keep editing our reach descriptions to keep up with the latest change in the code.

I'd be comfortable with thumbnailing down to 400 pixels in the horizontal dimension. I don't think we need to compress them down to 320.

It is a bug, that will get fixed. So don't resize photos to accomodate this bug. Just add the best full size photo for the rapid description and be patient until they are properly resized by the website again.

Seems like there are multiple odd bugs whenever we do a website upgrade.

Weird. Let me try to verify the problem on my test site and investigate. I think the server move might have messed with the photo resize. I think the way it is supposed to work is that the medium resolution photo is used with the maximum-width constrained by CSS.
