My videos and photos resize themselves when showing up in 2nd column of main page...

Hi!! This is my first post here...I resized my middle column because I made the entire body smaller in width (I added a dropshadow graphic wise and had to still fit in the standard ning width which is 955 or something). Anyway, I was able to resize each column as needed and it came out great. I didn't know there was an issue until I had one of my first members post a bunch of pictures which showed up on the main page. I'm assuming the pictures resized themselves to the default settings/size.

Is there code that i can use to make anything that appears in the middle column stay the size of the middle column? I have looked everywhere and can't find any.

If you would like, take a look at my site to see what I mean... www.thankdoglife.com

I haven't launched my site yet, I would like to fix this before I do (I need to do some other things too of course)

Thanks so much for any help you can possibly give!!!!

And a doozy of a question it is, lol. I don't think you're going to find an easy or good answer for this, I'm sorry to report.

First time I've ever had this question. All I can see that can be done is set the slideshow width to a percentage. But, the video above it, and modules below it will still be over the width of your column. I believe you will experience ongoing issues with this width, sorry to say.

Here's what I added to the Advanced CSS to narrow the width of the slide show:
.xg_widget_main .xg_module_body .xg_slideshow {width:95%!important;}

Or to set at a pixel width, use something along these lines, and maybe the best:
.xg_widget_main .xg_module_body .xg_slideshow {width:420px!important;}

Best Regards,

Jen
