I've noticed that when you make your original post with a link to a photo, the frame size for that photo is set in the FM database. So if you re-upload the photo to the same URL at a different size, then FM will squash or enlarge the photo to fit the size and aspect ratio when originally posted.
I don't know the specifics but Patrick is right about re-posting images with the same URL. For whatever reasons (not sure if it's just a size thing) they get funky once a file is changed on this site.

Ding Ding Ding, I think we have a winner. Or the forum is just deciding to display an image at some size that isn't the same as the actual photo?
Right click and the image is correct. View EXIF data (if you have that plugin) and the thumbnail is correct. Something within the message is telling the forum software that it's not the same dimensions as the correct data.
Looking at the page source code:
The first message distorted image has this data width=534 height=800
The repost, hosted on the FM server has this data: (which matches the metadata of the photo.) width='612' height='412'
If it was just rotated wrong, wouldn't the incorrect display be 412 x 612?
Or the forum is just deciding to display an image at some size that isn't the same as the actual photo?
