The new cropped thumbnails are awful. Is there any way to revert?

Previously, thread thumbnails were full images - but after the kbin update, every single one is cropped and we are only seeing half the image.

This looks awful and is functionally a degradation of quality.

Is there any way to revert this change?

The image being sent from the server appears to be cropped. Checking the code sending the thumbnail, it looks to be correct [ref].

(Disclaimer: It’s been over 10 years since I looked at PHP code, so I could be wrong about what this code is doing)
