This isn't the first time I suggested this and obviously I'm not the only one to think of it but I really really think this site needs to redesign how it uses avatars. I always get dismissed with "edit it yourself" but that's not always an option for everyone and can get rather tedious. No other website I've used has had the issue where most jpg images get compressed and doesn't allow you to crop it when you're uploading it.
Sure avatars aren't a vital site feature but if avatars are a function might as well make them work. It'd be really helpful if this site's avatars were standardized to be like other big sites to where jpgs aren't compressed and you can crop it without a separate editor. Sure it's just aesthetic but every user has the function, you see them everywhere, seems like an aesthetic just as important as any to give some attention to.
