Main Site Issue With Profile Banner

I made the banner image 1850x300 pixels and other resolutions but it's still like this. Is this a me issue or is this a site-wide issue?
Resizing the window doesn't fix it either.

I just uploaded a banner. The right side is eaten.
*The banner is stretched completely, but part is not visible.Full-screen mode.
In the smallest browser window, the banner looks correct.

Hello. I think I have the answer you are looking for.

It's not fully filling the screen because it's not using the maximum dimensions (1850x300 pixels)

Do some editing to the image to where it is either cropped, resized, and/or stretched to the exact pixel cap and it should cover the whole page from left to right. I tested this myself to confirm it was the solution to the issue.

Banner images are working fine for me so far, but I have a suggestion: align the background image to the center instead of the left, or give us the option to choose the alignment. It's impossible to make a banner that's centered when stuff on the right half of the image can get cropped off on smaller resolutions.

Your banner image is only 869x300 pixels. The width needs to be 1850.

I'd like to second this suggestion. Left/Right/Center options would be great. Right now all images need to be drawn/designed to have the important elements on the left.

Maybe also adjust the opacity of the top UI bar, it took me a while to even realize the top part of the banner was under it. make the image show through a bit more, at the very least in the center where there are no buttons.

On at least one of the new-ish social media/artblog sites I've joined in the last five or six weeks- I do not mean to be deliberately vague, I've been doing enough adjustment to the lot of them along with the new UI here on FA that I cannot clearly remember which one it was now...bugged me enough I checked; it's on a Mastodon homepage banner- the only formatting example, or namely limit, I was given was the filesize ceiling.

There was no provided definition as to how high or wide it could or needed to be; I had to determine it by guessing, reposting and resizing it several times. Halfway through I just repeatedly resampled a blank white JPEG with unlocked aspect ratio and lossily resized it for the remainder of my attempts, before customizing it fully. The resulting dimensions were so much wider and worlds 'shorter' that I had no image to use as-is then crop to fit it that I liked, or that didn't need to be deformed to mutilation by modification of its aspect ratio, despite already having cropped the original down by more than inches.

I concur with DragonTalon; even if all a user wants to do is crop an image picked for their FA banner to half or a third of the total width, allowing them to stick it in the middle or flush to either edge of the banner-space would really be swell. Throw in a manual banner image 'stretch' toggle into the bargain if that's entirely fine with both FA and the user's preferences.
