Can I get back to you on a couple of days. I'm in the process of moving my site to a new server, upgrading it and using XP2 to replace WordPress
3rd AnGle
sure.... good luck
Lone Wolf
This is what Jaxel told me...
In the templates, replace:
{$article.article_icon.data.thumbnailUrl}
with:
{xen:link attachments, $article.article_icon.data}

i don't know why he wouldn't tell me that..... thanks a lot. You saved me.
Lone Wolf
Did it work?
3rd AnGle
the blur is gone but it is stretched... i can live with that 
3rd AnGle
bt stretched i mean the aspect ratio.. that is expected as i am fixing the width and height
Lone Wolf
that might be to do with the original picture dimensions
3rd AnGle
yes.. & we are good with this.
Lone Wolf
That's good.
Lone Wolf
You understand it better than me. Could you post it as a solution in the XenPorta 2 thread in case someone else needs it.
3rd AnGle
i can... but are you trying to achieve my Article style? https://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-2-portal-pro-paid.89112/page-25#post-876902
3rd AnGle
am not sure if we are trying to achieve the same thing
Lone Wolf
No, you're right. We're working on very different looks. Mine is very bespoke.
