Problem with Image Format on New Profile Page

    Forgive me if this issue has already been mentioned but I've been away from the forums for a while.

    For years I have painstakingly been creating "Made for Pinterest" images in a square format so they display in their entirety on my profile page as shown below.

    The new profile page on the newly changed sites shows landscape format thumbnails which means that now most of the title and the top and bottom of my pictures are gone. Look for yourselves:

    Do we really have to re-design all our first images from square to landscape to fit the new profile page format?

    Or could the design team do something about this problem? Never mind losing the descriptions...

    Please make profile thumbnails square again. Maybe the title text in the second column could be enlarged a little and the image made slightly smaller but still retain the square format?

    Jeesh!

      Thank you for bringing this up. Image ratios and cropping are under review. Readers will still land on your articles and find pinnable content via organic search, but we understand that the author profile may not look ideal. Authors use many different ratios—portrait, landscape, and square. No single style can be accommodated fully at the moment. We recommend keeping your great photos on your articles and to wait for additional updates.

    Here is an attempt at combining the new design with the old square thumbnails to avoid cutting the images.

    Lowering the author's name completes the spacing. In addition, the separator lines could be a wee bit darker to better enclose each whole unit per article.

    Please Samantha pass this on to the design team.
