New Cover Art Requirements [Edited]

EDIT: The change has been reverted for now. Let us all breathe a sigh of relief.

Knighty's forced cover art to be 2:3. Why? Because he wanted a cover art view and can't program his way out of a paper bag:

If you think this is stupid, go tell him so. http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/486843/client-side-image-cropping

Spread the word, since Knighty didn't want to.

Where are the internet pitchfork and torches when you need them?

The irony of posting this on a website that only exists from top to bottom because of said programmer.

This site has so many bugs and little things that break it in subtle ways. And then you run into issues like this where crap is forced on us because it "has" to be a certain way, that says to me that Knighty isn't interested in actually learning how things are done well.

The absolute stupidest thing to be upset about...

I should also mention that your cover art still looks just fine in full view... it's just forced to that view if you have your view set to cover art only...

For now, sure. Just wait, it'll happen.

3094455 If that were the case I would be happy. Nope, knighty's preventing us from having cover arts on any scale that isn't 2:3. Part of issue is that he didn't make a blog announcing it, basically killed landscape covers, and says it was simply for bookshelves.

Yes, he did. Almost a week ago.

Thankfully, it's back to a reasonable system, this cover art nonsense.
