I have several ways for folks to add avatars but when they upload there own they get distorted. So a mod to check proportions on the images would be nice. Anybody got this one working?<br /><br />This is one of the most pesky things about ubbt. <br /><br />What if the mod checked for dimension of image to see which was larger? then used that one first as a guideline to post image. Would that keep them in proportion. Grasping at straws here.

I have the same problem at my site. For now I open their images in PSP, crop out the largest square I can, and resize them to 100x100 (what I use at my site). As a fringe benefit, everything being at 100x100 makes things look more uniform.

It's a known bug, reported months ago. <br /> <br />Part of the problem is that when a user edits his profile, the avatar dimensions get reset to theme defaults. I fixed that by removing the code that updates a user's avatar when he edits his profile. <br /> <br />This solution works for me because I don't allow users to upload their own avatars. They have to send them to me, and I install them. I have a hack which adds an admin function for uploading (or deleting) a user's avatar. I could post that if there's sufficient interest.

Realize its a bug, was hoping somebody could write a fix. doesn't seem like that much code revolves around the images. Dave thanks for the offer but I have enough on my plate with out doing everybodies avatar. Got the users all squared away on doing it themselves, but those few that don't get it.<br /><br />I like to have the avatars a little larger so folks can show off their fish pictures or what ever they take photos of. Some are quite fun to see what they can come up with.<br /><br />Not sure what we need to have done to work around this to keep porportions of images.<br />I tried deleting the height requirement but that just allowed stretching in the other direction. and vise versa..<br /><br />This is suppose to be fixed in 6.3 but that is still quite a ways out.<br />I am not rich but would gladly pay somebody to write a fix. How much would something like this cost?
