# Problem with linked images

 * I am just setting up my blog, for the first time, and I found a thing that is
   bothering me. Every time I insert an image with a link in a post, the “clickable”
   area extends beyond the border of the image itself. So, if the image is centered,
   the user can still click to the right or left of the image (where there is nothing)
   and the link will open. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you

 * In IE8 the clickable area (where the hand appears) is right on the boundary of
   the photos.
 * In FF4 the area extends to the sides as you said.
 * Image information in FF shows the image size 300×194, while the source code show
   it 210×136.
 * You need to contact Graphpaper press, who you got this theme from for support.
   Their theme seems to have a browser issue.

 * The problem persists, however, in any other theme. I have just checked reverting
   to the original theme.

 * BTW, it also renders incorrectly in Safari.
 * Disable all plugins. Still a problem?

 * Yes. There are no plugins currently active. Perhaps there is a “reset” option
   somewhere? I haven’t started blogging yet so I loose nothing if I reset it all.

 * oddly enough, the problem persists even after re-installing wordpress (using 
   wordpress reset plugin).

 * I used your image as a test here, [http://www.ourexcellentadventures.com/](http://www.ourexcellentadventures.com/)–
   I will leave it up until you see it. Note that in FF it has the correct boundaries.
 * That tells us something but I don’t know what. How are you resizing to make the
   smaller image? I just entered 300×194 into the html.

 * Hi, I checked it at the site you said. True, it displays well there. It is nothing
   to do with resizing.
 * I re-installed wordpress with the reset plugin. The problem persisted. So I went
   ahead and uninstalled everything manually, erased the whole directory, and reinstalled.
   Once again, I put an image, this time already small and without any resizing,
   and the problem is still there. It just seems unreal, I don’t know what’s wrong.

 * It is because the alignment is align center. Either left or right there is no
   problem.

 * my gosh, thank you so much. If I insert the image “centered” the problem appears.
   But if I insert without any alignment, and then just select the image and click
   align to center, then there is no problem. It was making me go crazy. It must
   be one little bug.
 * Thank you!
