Forum Avatar Size

Ok so I'm missing something.

Whatever I try the forum seems to scale it to a 150x150 area, whitch is messing stretching my image, which causes me great distress.

I've seen some really small AVs that look like they're maybe 20x20 or so, and I've seen some that are about 100x150 (which is what I'd like to have mine). But regardless of what I set my image to, it is stretched to a 150x150 size when displayed.

What am I missing here? Why is my image scaled?
 
Is your avatar 150x150 on the site you're hosting it? Try uploading it on like imageshack.us and set it to 100x150 or whatever size you want it, and then link it.
 
It's hosted on my own server.

Currently it's 150x150 in size just so I can control the look. I've tried resizing it to 105x100 (which is perfect) but when I do so, the forum is scaling it to 150x150 causing horizontal stretching.
 
Look at html of page:
Code: 
<img src="[url]http://www.shardsofdalaya.com/forum/Themes/igoh10x/images/useron.gif"[/url] alt="Online" border="0" align="middle" />

Site doesn't stretch it to 150x150. The image is 150x150...
 
That looks like the code for the little green monitor showing I'm online, not the user avatar.

I don't see how uploading my image to a third party like Imageshack will help, when I have full control of the image on my own server..... but I will try it.
 
Nevermind. I don't like having to sign up for crap and get more spam mail, so I'd rather not sign up for an Imageshack account. Also, the proper size I am looking for is not listed in their "Resize Image" dropdown selection.

If you would like to see what I am referring to, I have swapped images for my Avatar. As you can see to the left, the face is clearly stretched out horizonally to fit. If you right click and "View Image" (in Firefox) it will bring you direct to the image where you can see the actual image is 105x150 and looks much different.
 
P.P.S.

While I was looking at the HTML code, my email address cought my eye. In my profile I have "hide email address from the public" checked off, which is apparently not happening, as simply hovering over the email icon under my avatar shows my email address.
 
You don't have to sign up to imageshack.us

But yeah, sorry, I didn't really check what I found. But I know why I can have mine in a different size, now, because I uploaded it to server.

And the email thing is because SMF sucks, probably.

Code for my image is:
Code: 
<img src="[url]http://www.shardsofdalaya.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=14;type=avatar"[/url] alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />
 
Yeah, I JUST tried that like 5 seconds before reading your post.

I uploaded the image to the SOD server instead of linking it to my server, and it is working as intended now. (see to the left)


crisis averted.
