Whatever you are doing to put the images on the page, you have them nested inside one another. Then there is a style “.post img.size-full” which is setting each image to be 96% of it’s parent container… so each image is getting smaller because it’s becoming 96% of it’s parent, which is 96% of IT’S parent… A vicious cycle.
You might want to remove all these images and then add them back one at a time taking care not to nest them inside each other.
OK I’ll try that. I also changed the media settings and I hope that helps.
I know they’re getting smaller and I believe they’re nested but – this is so weird – how are they getting nested? I’m just uploading them through wordpress.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Are you using a theme? If so, what theme? How are you inserting them onto the page? Please provide more details…
Yes, my theme is Atahualpa 3.7.7 but I’ve tested the pictures on twenty eleven and have the same problem.
I upload them through upload/insert from my computer.
I’ve used wordpress for years and have not had this problem before.
Just uploading the images though the upload/insert does not put them on the page… you have to use the “insert into post” or some other method. Are you using that? Is there anything else special that you are doing to give the images that border, background color, and caption?
The site is looking better… I think when you are inserting, you just have to pay attention to where the cursor is on the post so you don’t nest them by accident. WordPress editor is not the best tool in the world for this kind of work.
Of course, I put them in the post that way. I fill out the caption – here, I’ve uploaded a couple of pics.

Hope that helps.
What should I use instead of WordPress? Uploading to photobucket and then to post is long and tedious.
Does this mean anything to you?

Well, again… I think the problem is where the cursor is when you insert into post. You might be inside one of those blocks that already contains a photo… therefor nesting each photo. Try putting one image in and see how it looks… i.e. remove all content except for one image.
If that works and looks good, hit enter a few times (just for testing) and insert another image. If the two images are separate and not nested, then figure out how many enters you need to get them separate. Once it looks good, you can always go back and remove a few line breaks… give that a go, using only two or three images at once to make testing easier.
I don’t think it’s a WordPress/theme issue at all… just where the cursor is at the time of picture insertion.
By George, I think you’ve got it! Thank you for helping me. I am very grateful.
You are welcome… glad it helped.
