I think it dates back to the last site layout change.

Is there a way to shrink the pic?  I tried a few different resolutions of my pic awhile back as you can see but it always kept the same shape on the site.  I was trying to shrink it down some so I wouldn't take up so much damn space.  I have seen worse in the past though.

Your pic will always be resized to a 200 pixel width, the best way to control your avatar size is to crop the picture beforehand with sites like picresize.com
