Seemingly overnight the images for the news on this site doubled and distorted. Any guesses why?
This site is still on the old Yale template theme, somewhat modified.

Hi, Victoria:
I changed the style of the pics for the News items. Take a look and see if this works for you. If you want me to change the size/shape etc. let me know.
Regards,
Carris

Hi, Victoria:
There was a code update and this caused the issues with your pictures. We are aware of this bug and are looking into it.
Best regards,

Hi, Victoria:
I added an Image Style that is called Landscape Thumbnail Old. This style is like the original picture sizing for the News View. That changed the size of the pictures, but the original pictures are too small and do not have enough white space around them to work well with how the News Block on the front page sizes and crops the pictures.
The next thing I tried was to changed the picture in first news article, Red State, Blue State and Vaccination Rates. I found a bigger picture through Google for the AJPH logo and then used Photo Shop (but I am sure that you could use other free-ware photo software from the web) to add white space around it. Please take a look at the picture for this article. Unfortunately, you will need to use the picture I changed as a template for sizing and replace the other pictures with new pictures that are about the size of the one I replaced so that they will be clear, and resize properly.
Let me know if you have any further questions on this.
Best regards,
Carris

No, in fact, I had such trouble with this site that I totally redid it, using the new Yale template.
