Eighties theme picture captions on mobile devices
-
I am using the Eighties theme. I have noticed that adding a caption to a picture screws up the way that picture displays on mobile devices. When set to “large,” the picture with a caption is always much larger than pictures without a caption. It disrupts the reading experience on mobile devices. It looks okay on a desktop. Do you know why this is happening? Is there any way to fix it. I’ve just stopped using captions. However, sometimes it is really nice to have a caption.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please provide a link to an example of what you report. Better still would be screenshots. You can post screenshots and share them with Staff. You can use http://snag.gy/ to share screenshots. Or you can use the WordPress.com guide I linked to and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it. Don’t forget to enter the modlook tag for their attention in the sidebar of this thread.

Here is an example, the “Jedi Mind Control” picture. (I deleted most of my captions.) https://lovemarriageworms.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/men-with-flowers/

Sorry, the first of the three “screen shots” was a mistake. Here is the proper link. This is the best example of what is going on with the pictures with captions. You can see the picture is hanging of the screen. Pictures that do not have captions are properly resized to display on the phone without having to scroll around.

Thanks for the screenshots. I tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

Do you work for WordPress? Is this the proper place to report issues? Thank you for your help!

Yes this is the right place to post for support. I am a Volunteer who has answered questions on this support forum for over 8 years. I predate almost every Support Staff member being on Staff, and I also predate the support docs too. lol :D
Support options are stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/
This is a peer support forum where Staff and Volunteers work together cooperatively to provide WordPress.com support. There’s rarely ever a question posted here that has not already been asked and answered. Volunteers answer the majority of all support questions and when we cannot provide support we tag threads for Staff assistance.
There is no phone support, and emailing support Staff means it takes longer to get an answer than posting to the support forums does. We are happy to answer your WordPress.COM questions right here in this thread.
