(incase it doesn't show in the webui)

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! It didn’t load properly for me.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or me.

I was getting worried that the placeholder image was what everyone was voting for.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought it might have been something to do with the original image being a webp, but the one in the comment is also a webp... who knows

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a png on my computer. Lemmy must convert it

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Interesting. Pictrs must be throwing a ranty again. My TPA (Boost) initially shows a thumbnail when you click on an image, then loads in a higher quality version later. The thumbnail doesn't load, but the normal one does

Super odd

[–] prex@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Same but with Jerboa

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I've actually changed the banner now but there's just nothing now, hopefully it gets fixed in an upcoming release

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago

*Head shown actual size.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 7 points 2 months ago

The cropping could be better. Surely you can’t not show that impressive neck wattle.

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Looks like the people have spoken!
