Pixentral apparently builds the clickable thumbnail of uploaded images based only on the height of the image, not its width. As a consequence uploaded panos end up with an extremely wide thumbnail that breaks the forum margins.

The low-resolution copy of this image was originally 5791 x 800 pixels. Its clickable thumbnail brutally broke the forum margins�as can be seen here: Ram�n G Casta�eda, "Photomerge PS CS 4 of very blue sky results in false/too bright colours" #6, 18 Jan 2009 9:18 pm </webx?14@@.59b78aec/7>

I have now added height to the canvas by adding gray spaces on the top and bottom of the image in an effort to force Pixentral to build a more manageable clickable thumbnail of this now 5791 x 2896 pixels image file.

Caution, if you click on the thumbnail you'll be downloading a grotesquely wide, large file. It's a low-resolution, heavily compressed JPEG.

This seems to work.
