I am using a simple contacts creator (grumpy contacts) and contacted the programmer there and he said gantry was causing the problem with my images resizing in contacts. It squashes the image when first loaded but if you refresh the page the image comes in fine. Why would this happen even if it isn't gantry? There is no code i can find anywhere to cause this in the cgrumpy component or gantry and am very confused can someone help?
I do normally specify image dimensions, the problem is more with modules and components that automatically resize images.
Eg, I built one k2mart store where the latest products are shown on the homepage, the original images vary in size and get resized to the width but have different heights.
I'm not too clear on the exclude feature, but definatley something to look into.
