No worries Ike, take care of what's important, I'll leave reboot set up on my staging if you need to look at it, I'm not using it on my live site yet

I see it on Firefox.

@kvr28 is right. This is to do with the size of the actual image coupled with the size of the post content width coupled with the way your theme is handling the 'responsive' image resizing coupled with the way that Firefox is interpreting all of that.

The first issue is the actual size of the image being posted. It is actually really very, very big - much bigger than the content area it has to fit it. This is  questionable thing to do anyway - just consider that every time someone visits the page then they have to download these huge files to see the images. And the bandwidth being used by your server... Sizing more sensible to fit has many advantages.

Think of displaying an image 1366 px wide on a mobile phone display that is 360 px. The amount of work the browser has to do to resize that is enormous not to mention the file size being downloaded  by a user over an expensive mobile phone network.

Firefox,  I believe, is resizing the image to fit width wise and gets the ratrio right on the height but does not appear to be releasing the space so the depth given to the box size for the image is as if it were still at it's full pixel size. Seems to me this is either a problem with Firefox or something to do with your Wp theme. But posting proportionately resized images does appear to solve it nicely. 

As to your phone scrolling then, in my own experience the timeout on mobile browsers seems a lot shorter than on a desktop - perhaps to save those very costly phone bills - so it is perhaps possible that what you saw was the request to your server timing out and killing the page before it had fully loaded which might cause a scrolling issue.

Whoops... meant to add just for information that I am also seeing a few script errors on your website which may have an impact in functionality if left unchecked. Not just SP but any plugin utilsiing javascript.

agreed, is there anyway to dictate the size of the picture a user embeds the same way when they upload? I've made posts about suggested photo sizes to embed and not everyone gets the message

what errors? I'm not very good at finding those, I depend on javascript errors notification for chrome and it's not showing me anything

nvm, just read it again and I don't think you were talking to me, I see the word JS errors and my heart goes in a tizzy

No - it wasn't your site with the errors :)

I don't think we can control linked external image sizes sadly. Nothing I am aware of anyway. Wouldn't it be nice.....

This issue of the picture is happening on desktops.  This issue was not happening on the default theme?  It just started happening with reboot.

As Andy has said, It seems to be due to a bug in Firefox, more specifically with flexbox which default theme doesn't use. Seems to work fine in other browsers, although nothing I've tried tonight resolves it - I will keep trying and keep you guys updated.

bruno36: With respect - could you reply over in your own topic please as it just confuses the issue to add it on this thread.
 

The problem is solved, thank you

BTW...the long space underneath pictures also happens with IE.  It seems only Chrome is handling it correctly.
