How do I get rid of the Circle Crop?  My members have profile pics and its not up to me or forum software to crop it.  Need it gone or I can't upgrade

Idiotic to you, is pleasing to others.

Regardless, it's a setting for each theme, you can use rectangular icons if you wish.

How do I get rid of the Circle Crop?

​ACP -> Customizations -> Themes -> click on pencil in your theme row -> Custom tab -> disable Use Rounded Photos?.

Thank You.  I did see that setting but thought it was about rounded corners, didn't put the circle thing together.

Do you know if there is a setting to allow gifs for the Profile Pic?

Hmmm, still seem to have a cropped Profile Picture, just a square now.  Maybe a theme thing...

​Not necessarily, they can only be so big.  You get to adjust the crop when you upload the pic.

So I have confirmed that the Gifs work, they just get broken during the upgrade, which means manual replacement.

 

I just need to figure out how to allow the full view of the profile picture as as per the settings in the member group profile  No point is saying you are allowed XX, then crop it.

You'll have to edit your style's CSS for that. There are three different elements controlling the size of displayed avatars across the site. For example, if you'd like to make the avatars next to posts bigger (the ones that you can see here), you'll have to search for the 

.ipsUserPhoto_large

in your CSS. Best practice would be to copy the entire block

.ipsUserPhoto_large img {
	width: 130px;
	height: 130px;
	{{if theme.rounded_photos}}
		border-radius: 45px;
	{{endif}}
}

and place it into custom.css file. Then set the width and height values you want with in custom.css. As you can see, I've set this one to 130x130 (default is 90x90). You'll have to test and see what fits best with the theme you are having (as in too large avatars are most likely going to annoy your users).
