So, this is my issue.

I have a very small 100 x 116 image which I'm gonna use on my "community profiles" page on my Tumblr, just below my ask box. But when I add it, Tumblr resizes it and makes it huge. Without tampering with all the images on my blog, how can I get this to the size I need it at?
 
I know nothing about Tumblr but do know some stuff about HTML if you're tampering with it.

Try this:
HTML:
<img src="myImage.png" width="100" height="116">

That may result in some funny placement but it's all part of a trial-and-error process.

Just tried it. Unfortunately, that makes no difference. My guess is that something in the theme's code is effecting pages as well as posts, so I guess I'm stuck.

Yeah, perhaps try Googling for issues with whatever theme you're using or just use a different one.

Not sure how much flexibility you have on Tumblr compared to something like Wordpress, but try raking around in any CSS and JavaScript files if you feel confident enough. They're likely culprits to be up to something wacky.

Can you link the theme/page you're using? It probably has a set image size and that's why your image is stretching.
 
Oops I forgot about this thread sorry.

I tested it out and for me images only appear stretched in the preview, but they're fine on the actual page itself. Previews are all sorts of messed up so it doesn't surprise me if that's what the problem is.

It's still stretched for me. I've tried different browsers and it hasn't made a difference. I guess I'll just have to give up on that page completely. Thanks for your help anyway!
