Is avatar and profile picture the same thing? When I upload it, it zooms in and stretches out the picture of Lemmy.

It's because the original image is far to small, so it stretches it to fit the box.

That or something about lizard people and magnets.

Something about the image seems to be causing the forum's resizing to go batty.

The same thing happened to me a couple times. You need to resize it to 80x80. It might get stretched in your profile, but at least it'll look fine in the rest of the site.

I don't think that's the issue. Mine is 1280×1171 and looks fine. Though, I guess since s/he's having issues, it may be worth a shot just to see if it fixes it.

It needs to be a near perfect square or else the site will make it one and it won't look pretty.

From his avatar in his profile you can tell its probably a very pronounced rectangle, that's why it looks like that here.

The site wants to make it thinner and it ends up making taller too in the process, in the end we can see all the area from left to right from the original image, but the area from up to down is cut to accommodate for it.

Just trim down the sides and it should be better.

His avatar is 128x128 px.

I'm having this problem too. That weird looking gif is a regular 500x500 gif of Pikachu. How can I fix this?

I think a mod changed my av and fixed it for me because I never got around to doing it. Very kind of you……
