We allow up to 150px in width and 120px in height. If you exceed those, the forum will automatically scale it down (which won't look as good as if you do it yourself).

General graphics advice: I recommend scaling your avatar preserving the aspect ratio of the original image (no distortion), and cropping as necessary to do that.
