They must be larger, more flexible and have reasonable size limitations; barely any image out there has matching vertical and horizontal pixels. I don’t know if 125x125 is a staple measure for forums, but fuck that, I ain’t lettin’ my beloved Spike right there without his sexy-ass mullet.
 
I suggest 200 (h) x 250 (v) maximum size.

If you make an image that is 125x125 the site will leave it alone - just resize it yourself to fit. The aspect ratio is the important bit - it has to be 125 wide or it’ll get cut to make it square.

I kind of would have expected it to resize the image so the largest axis is 125px and just center it in the avatar display rather than enforce the precise dimensions. That way feels more intuitive, at least.

I thought that 125x125 was a surprisingly big size. Many of the other forums I’ve posted on have ranges of 75x75 to 90x90 and I really had a hard time thinking of something to do big enough. Aggravating problem because I had a small tradition of making edits of Chrono Trigger sprites but last time I did one for a 90x90 was about 15 characters in one. Maybe that’s me being a bit odd though.

It's just pictures.
So it has to be 125px wide or it will be stretched? What about portraits that are meant to be taller than wide?
 
Granted, one can do a workaround on that and add some empty space on both sides of such a portrait, but still…

125x125 or it’ll be cropped, yes. Resizing without cropping is an option also, but we’d much rather encourage people to design for the format, so to speak.
