User Picture

When I uploaded an avatar on my settings page, it gets cut off on the bottom. It would be great if I could adjust how the image would be displayed after uploading it.

I should be able to edit my posts. I want to add that you can see my avatar to the left for now.

I'm just using that one (the shield) as a test, so I'll change it after a couple days so you have time to see it.

Editing posts: that's a good idea.  We would like to do that.  For the time being, however, it's on the back burner.  We hope you aren't too inconvenienced in the meantime. 

You did the right thing; just make a reply to yourself if you really need to amend your comment.

Hi Weye,
That's a good point.  We took the decision to show avatars, and biography pictures, in that way so that we could avoid making you select what part of a large image to keep.  We'd like to make that better for you, but for the time being, what you can do is use an image editor to change the size of the image yourself.   However... just for you, I went ahead and fixed it by hand.  Hope you like the result.
