Hi is there something in the backend of EasySocial that allows the admin to change how the photos are displayed in the activity stream? On the demo some of the photos that you upload to the stream are cropped and doesn't display the whole photo. You can only see the whole photo when you actually click the photo and it takes you to the album. I've included screenshots of what the photo looks like in the stream and what its looks like in the album. The whole photo in the stream should be able to be seen without clicking it and having to view it in the album.
That is called 'cropping'

I completely agree with Antonio here. Some evaluation of the photo system is needed once ES 1.2 is published. I've already come up with some changes that in my opinion need to happen. But if the Stacked team can swing it, other additional photo features should come out such as allowing the admin to decide how photos should display (which is actually quite common in a lot of galleries). For example the admin defining the height of images displayed within the stream. It's not actually cropping the photo, only to the user does it appear that way. Instead it's displaying a piece of the photo.

Hello,

The main reason that the photos are cropped using css is so that the quality of the image is still retained. In EasySocial 1.2, upon clicking on the photo in the stream, it loads up a popup which displays the full image If you display the full photo in the stream, the photo might be a little large and it may take up a lot of space in the stream area.

However, as Josh have mentioned, we'll see what we can do in EasySocial 1.3
