Removing Photo Cropping to make "avatars"

[Carter.S]

Hello!

I just deployed 3.2 to our dev test area, and just learned about the sadness that is removing Avatars. I understand the logic and support it even however, this has crippled us in an area.

We have custom badges we make for our forum members that are 200x330. We used avatars for this, and people love them and have grown very adapted to them.

However, in 3.2 it forces a crop down to a square image, that is so small this badge is unusable for its purpose. Is there a way that we can add in settings to control where images are forced to be cropped? IE during forum postings it isn't cropped? Or disable it all together?

Until some type of solution can be developed, I am afraid we will be unable to use 3.2, it is that important to our community =(

The IPS team seems to think this is not important so I'm afraid we're stuck with this forced new solution. :( A perfect case of don't fix it, if it isn't broken.

You are not alone, but IPS explained that this is the way most big internet-plattforms such as facebook and co. go and therefore they went for the same :(

Hier is only one big topic about the subject:

Use a badge/award modification or have one made. I'm sure your members would want regular avatars, too.

This still is driving me nuts. There is no reason to limit avatars or crop them. IPS this was a stupid move...

I'm confused. I thought this issue was resolved?
