I noticed the new look with the story cover showing on the home page and all the story pages. It looks great.
However I noticed some have a grey box. This seems to be any image which isn't the correct size 768 x 1200 pix or made using the cover editor.
Will all stories need to be reverified if I go in and fix them/resize them?

If you change the cover image it will trigger reverification of the story. However, please say in the mod notes that it is just the cover image that has been modified and that will help.
I agree with diviantsusie, the story covers do look great next to your story. It was a nice surprise to see this upgrade.
However, through trial and error, I have found my imported cover pictures have to be 850 x 1350 pixels to have no surrounding grey at the top and bottom of the photo. Does this sound right? I am not sure what others use.
My Story Library is here: Wxt55uk's Stories
The standard size is currently 768x1200.
Not sure why the (older) ones aren't showing. Could be aspect, as you suggest Susie, or it could be because they're in a different location, as they were pre the move here. I've flagged it to the developers to consider.
Adding the covers to story list pages is a lovely upgrade. I also like that you can tap them (when on the stories page and viewing profile wall images) to view full size. Nice.

I see the images on my stories page, but tapping them doesn't do anything -- or did you mean on some other page?
All my gray images (a bunch) are from when we were allowed to use a landscape aspect. The image still loads when the story is opened, but not in the thumbnails.
The OP issue should now be fixed. Refresh to see the covers. Thank you for the report.

You can't tap the thumbnails (yet?) on story list pages but if you are either:
A) viewing an individual story; or
B) viewing images on someone's profile wall
Then tapping an image will pop up just that image to see it bigger (if it's been scaled).

Question: When stories are reverified, do they get listed as "new" stories, or keep their original date of approval?
I seem to write a story every 1.5 years on average.

They keep their original publication date.

Okay, understood, but it's worked that way for a while now, not just recently.

I just tried this on your profile page. None of the story thumbnails open large. If I tap an image in an open story, it enlarges, but as I said, it always has for me.

The story thumbnails don't enlarge. It would be nice one day perhaps if they did. Since each story entry isn't linked en-bloc (only the title is) it's possible to do it this way in future. But equally, it may be better that clicking the image also opens the story one day. I'm not sure (cognitively) what's better. But that's for another day.
I think the change for clicking to view the larger individual story images to see a larger version has been around a while, but the ability to enlarge profile wall images is relatively recent (a few months, if memory serves). I was just mentioning them in case some folk hadn't tried it yet, as it seemed relevant-ish to this topic and was a recent image-related change that wasn't mentioned when it was released.

I have some story covers that I want to delete but there does not seem an option. Is there a way to do this?
Can you edit each story and click the little x floating on the cover then save it? That should remove the pic from the story.
Or do you mean remove them from your media library?

I mean remove it from my story cover library that I use when I need a cover for a new story. I have already deleted the copy from the misc album but it is still in the story covers.
Hmm don't know about that. I can ask if there's a way to do it.

Following this thread.
In the Stories page, within Cover, there are only some covers which has the kebab menu. It gives the options View Story, Edit, and Delete. These few are beyond 30 days old. It would be nice to be able to have the kebab menu on each cover. 🌻

This is identified as an issue, thanks for raising it.
It's been fixed in preparation for the next build, so whenever that is pushed to the site, the delete should be available to all cover images.
