jcgoble3 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 No, I'm not talking about the admin. I'm talking about the pictures some users upload to display next to their posts. It seems like some avatars suddenly get squashed vertically, seemingly at random. It's only happened to a few that I've noticed. Fire-Beast-OF FEAR's avatar is an example of this (see here). Notice that if you right-click on the avatar and select "View Image", it displays the unsquashed version. EssentiallyCoaster's old avatar had this problem for a while as well before he changed it. Sorry, but I can't find any more examples right now. I'm using Firefox 5.0 and Windows Vista. EDIT: Now that I take a closer look, Fire-Beast-OF FEAR's avatar has also been stretched horizontally to fill the available space. What is going on here?

jdawg1998 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have this problem whenever I change an avatar. To fix it, I upload the avatar, save it, then refresh the page. Seems to work out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I believe the size of the avatar in question is the size the members uploaded and not being squashed. Unless Fire-Beast-OF FEAR says it is squashed then it is what he uploaded. This is from what I seen without going in his profile to look but will if he says it should be bigger, then my guess would be the program downsized a over sized picture to fit. P.S. please do not give the KIC members any suggestive ideas with your cleaver title, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Cleaver title? Were you afraid it was a cutting remark? Terpy, who actually CAN behave. He thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I actually got the Image looking like that and was never a full picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better ask the Beaver. Anyway, I've had the same avatar issues before. Try resizing whatever you want to a 100-pixel width in a photo editor and see if that works. It usually does for me.

Tanna Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 When in doubt, drag someone else's avatar to your desktop to use as a size reference. Get the info on it, and use that pixel size for your own avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
