Re: cropped images - linked images are being cropped so that they fit the post's content area. It's true that has its downsides for out-of-the norm images that are either very wide or very long.

When we add the option to upload images directly from your phone or hard drive, those will not be cropped, but scaled so they fit the post. You'll be able to tap on them and see them in full. Hopefully, that will mitigate this issue!
