This update provides a new option for viewing the thumbnails either as uniform squares (75×75) or with the aspect ratio preserved (100px on the longest side). You can now also specifically set the number of thumbnails you want to see (between 1 and 100). Enjoy!

It’s still stretching images without preserving ratios on my contacts page
Phil,
I get the same thing. My pictures in “contacts” were showing up 77 high x 117 pixels wide using the square aspect ratio, but…
I scrolled down to find one stretched to 198 wide. This was from a contact with a long username, which turns out to be 198 pixels wide also. When I changed options to show only 10 results (and thus this person didn’t show up), the photos in contacts correctly displayed the square aspect ratio.
The same happens with the other ratio, too. The measurements are a little different, but the idea is the same.
So, Ray, does you have someone with a long username in your contacts results? I’d be curious to know if their photo is stretched more than the others (and happens to be stretched exactly to the length of their name), and how wide the other photos are (same as mine or different, as in relation to the long username photo).
Otherwise, wow! This is cool, and much more so now that I figured out what was causing the stretching.
I love how if I right-click, it opens the photo (or stream) of the user in a new tab (left-click for right frame of same window). This is so much cooler than that ugly bloglines interface!
Now, if only I could browse individual contacts this way…
