Something wrong with avitar?

by Mike Henry · in Site Feedback · 01/25/2010 (9:34 pm) · 3 replies

Is there something wrong with the Avitar upload screen?
The page says no bigger than 180x120 but when I tried to upload a 120x120 image it wanted me to crop the bottom so it would be a 120x80 image, and it wouldn't let me move the crop area either. Is there something going on, or is it just me?

I think it needs to be the same aspect ratio. Your best bet seems to be to do the cropping, resizing, etc. yourself, and upload an image that is *exactly* 180x120.

If so, that's some mighty lame javascript programming.
Particularly since any image that is not the right size is pretty much guaranteed to be the wrong aspect ratio too.

Make image smaller than the dimensions so it doesn't touch the sides. eg: 119x119 and it shouldn't want cropping.
