Only the top half of the thumbnails show with my 2017 iMac, running Mojave

I believe there are enough members experiencing this problem to be worth fixing it. Must be something in the coding not compatible with some computers, yet OK on others. A worthy challenge for the right computer nerd.
 
I get full pictures using Chrome, but half or so using Safari or Firefox. I don't think it's the computer, but the browser that has the problem. I've not explored the settings of either of the two that show smaller pix, there might be a fix there.

Funny, I get half pictures with both chrome and safari with my 13" MacPro and 27" iMac, both running Mojave; but full pictures with my 15" MacPro running Sierra.

Ah! Here's an observation: going back to the front page, and the images are displayed correctly:

View attachment 4848543

Same browser and same device as before (13" Macbook Air, Min browser). But notice these are three landscape images, not two landscape and a portrait one as in my last screenshot.

My guess is that the code for the layout is forcing the three combined images to take up 100% of the horizontal space allotted to the random pics section, but every so often (such as with two landscape images and one skinny portrait one), it's not calculating the height that's needed correctly - or something's interrupting that process.

If you refresh the front page a few times, you'll notice that it opens that section with a set height (which matches the height given to it in my screenshot in comment #4), and only when the third image appears, the section increases in height to accommodate the images correctly. Something's obviously going wrong in that step.

Yes now I see that it does depend on whether there are any vertical (portrait) images in the mix. I just saw a set of three horizontal (landscape) thumbnails that displayed correctly, full height. It's the presence of a vertical in the mix that throws something off.

Mods? What can be done about this?
 
Rob-F,

Its not a practical or affordable to have RFF's website 100% compatible with every obsolete computer out there,
or all the new computers available for that matter.

I see this as a minor display problem not worth spending programming money on.
Problems that need to be fixed for RFF to function well are another matter.

Is it really a major job; or maybe just a little glitch? After all MP Guy already had it displaying correctly for a while. So maybe the fix just wasn't saved?

I don't think my 2017 Macbook Pro and 2017 iMac are obsolete.

Edit, 3 minutes later: I just switched to my four year older (2013) Macbook Pro. The thumbnails show correctly on it, so I don't think ago/obsolescence is the issue. Perhaps the OS has more to do with it? This one runs Sierra. The 2017, Mohave. Later I'll try it on my 2009 Macbook/Snow Leopard.

Sorry to be a nuisance.
