Sidebar images wrong size

    Whenever I place an image, whether part of an ad or even just a plain image, they are being resized to something smaller. They also ignore the width and height settings for the image.

    This only seems to be a problem for the sidebar as I have tested the same images inside a page and they display as expected.

    Any ideas on what the problem may be and how to fix it?

    Update:
    If I select a 50%/50% content/sidebar arrangement the image are the correct size.
    If I select normal 2/3 – 1/3 content / sidebar arrangement the images get scaled to the wrong size.

    There is plenty of room to show the images in the sidebar, so that is not the problem.
    Even a 125×125 image gets scaled to something that looks more like 50×50.

    Adsense ads are not affected, so they actually appear at the correct size 350×250.
    One of the other ads is a flash ad and it also appears at the correct size.

    Any ideas and what I can try? Anyone?

    Hello,
    I’m am also having this issue with my Google maps widget. It was the correct size, and then it wasn’t. Not sure what is causing it, but I’ve spent some time fiddling with setting and have gotten nowhere.

    Thanks in advance,
    Julie

    I’ve come up with a solution that works for me, in style.css there are two contradictory lines:

    #sidebar .twocol {
    float:none;
    width:auto;
    }

    AND:

    #sidebar .twocol {
    float:left;
    width:50%;
    }

    So under Appearance > Theme Options > Layout I pasted

    #sidebar .twocol {
    float:none;
    width:auto;
    }

    In order to get my miniTwitter widget to stretch I had to manually put in the width in pixels (in my case 300px)

    Thanks @andyjroper.

    That worked perfectly. Images are now displaying at the correct size.
