Distorted avatars

[loua_oz]

Hello,
To accomodate for a 273KB gif avatar for Administrator, I changed max pixels (from 80x80 to 100x100) and size (from 20,000 to 300,000 bytes) for Administrator's avatar.

Then applied that (larger avatar allowance) to Supermoderator and Moderator groups.

After that, for one one supermod , I uploaded a 63KB avatar and it got distorted like this:





For an ordinary user (Group: Registered users) I did no change to avatar parametares (default: 80x80 pixels, 20,000bytes) and this 63KB file got uploaded and resized to fit (no action or plugins) and nicely, no distortion. Like this:





I changed back te parameters for Supermod and Moderators group to the default but no change - still distorted as if it keeps previous max size somewhere.

Cleared the browser cache (Internet Options -> Tools -> Delete Files) but still.

I kind of noticed that some of vB support staff on this board have large, simple but distorted avatars. Could that be the same thing that is causing me what i see as an undesired appearance of (distorted) avatars?
