No updates yet, but we are actively discussing it! One question on our minds is whether this is more appropriate as a user setting or a site setting. In other words, should admins control whether / when images are auto-gridded, or should that be something individual members can determine for themselves.
I’d love to hear what you all think about that! Here’s a quick poll but please do respond here with the reasons that motivate your choice.
The auto-grid feature should be controlled by…
A site setting. Admins turn it on or off for everyone in their community.
A user setting. Members turn it on or off for their own posts.

(No doubt there is a “both” option, where admins set the default for the community which individual members can tweak, but we’d like to see if we can manage with something simpler to start.)
Given that the primary issue is that users fail to understand what the grid tag is, how it works or what it is doing, it seems like the solution wouldn’t be to put the choice on them to have it on/off.
If it is a user-based choice I think it needs to be off by default.
The issues we’re suffering with broken and orphaned [grid] tags all over the place are due to people accidentally deleting part of the tag itself while they’re creating their post.
Hey @Richie, thanks for checking in. We have work planned to let admins turn this feature off in their communities, but it has not started yet. I’m not sure when this will be picked up; we have other in progress work to complete before we can turn to this. We’ll be sure to check in here though once this is complete!
I have some positive feedback
