Hi Mark,

It does show the whole image now, which is nice.  It tends to leave a good deal of white space on either side (on my screen anyway) in most cases of images I've tried out so far.  I notice that groups with the default elephant picture have almost the whole page taken up, and the image spreads across the width of the page, but I wasn't able to replicate that with any images I tried.  I'd be content with any of the non-full width images I tried out, except for the white space that remained on the sides.  Would there be a way to allow the mod to set the image to be left justified instead of centered?  

Mostly, I like the functionality of the change, as the images I uploaded weren't cropped anymore, and only a few went smooshy on me.  Just wondering how to best work with the new parameters to create the look I'd prefer.

I also noted that the cover picture doesn't preview the new image.  It would be nice if it could, as I found myself bouncing to the home screen and back as I tried images out.  Minor stuff.

Thanks!

I think it's good to get the writing off the group image, as that only works well with certain images.  However, I think there should be an option for no scaling at all.  As an example, we had a family group on Yahoo, and when something major happened to a certain family member, we would change the group image to be one of that person.  Stretching or squashing that image would just ruin it, and it's too much work to photo edit everything we'd want to put up.

All,

I've made a couple changes to the Group Home page. I moved the text (group title and address) out of the image, below it. 

More importantly, I changed how the cover image was being scaled. I think this is better and will be easier for people to deal with. It doesn't rely on a specific image size; it dynamically resizes and does not crop.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Mark

Now it preserves the aspect ratio while resizing. Can you upload your
cover photos again and let me know what you think?
