Nope, sorry I cannot fix it, it is built right into the heart of YaBB, and in fact the perl language.
However, it only affects avatars that are stored on a different serverm so if you want to, give your avatar to me and I'll upload it to my server, where it will look perfect.
hows about that?
Quote:as a thought if you could puill it off loony you could have it so the user can adjust the size of the avatars(within reason) so that when people use various sized things they can adjust them so the pic isnt messed up
that's a thought, sounds possible, i think, problem I see with it is, if I set it to print the HTML width="whatever height="whatever" witht the values taken from the users profile, the user will have to always input the data, otherwise no picture would appear, might be able to set it up to not print if no data is present, not sure, I'll consult the cookbook.
as a side note, if you still want to use your avatar from a different server, (and if it's a gif) you could simply edit it, so it is on a square background, and then make that background transparent. just a thought, I know it not practical in all cases. but you can stil send me your avatar in any case.
