Avatar dimensions

[WaluigiWare]

I am trying to upload an image for an Avatar (seen on the left), but every time I try to save it, it scales up the image to 125 x 125 (the image's original dimensions are 125 x 84), and thus the image comes out looking bulky and stretched.

Why is it doing that? Do images uploaded as Avatars have to be exactly 125 x 125?

Yes.

If it's already 125x84 then upload it to a different site and link to it.

What size would you suggest?

 

[ShyGuy27]

125x84 sounds fine.

Hmm... any other image hosting site besides ImageShack that I don't have to log into?

It wouldn't hurt to make a Photobucket account.
