Drew, askmetostay323's avatar seems to be a bit larger than 10 hex 100, or so it appears here. It is kind of making it harder to read some threads. Did you install this part at the new server yet?
You tmay have viewed the avatar prior to resizing. There's a brief period during the upload process where the full-size image resides on the drive. If your browser fetches the images before resizing it will be cached that way for 24 hours. It's really a fluke type of thing though. The window of oppurtunity for this is quit small, like a second or two at most.
It could also happen if the image resizing code wasn't able to access the drive for some reason and it left the full-sized image in place.
It also might happen if a person's browser doesn't allow a script to navigate to a different page or honor the meta refresh method.

I just took the plunge & added an avatar. As you can see it is pretty small. Much smaller than it is on my computer (MS paint or MS Word). Is there anything to be done?
Yes, upload a different image. Your avatar is 10 hex 75 pixels. use a program to trim all the useless whitespace from around the image. Our image resizer doesn't know that there's a bunch of useless white space around the image.
BTW, you can always right click an image in Firefox to get it's properties. If you check the properties on your avatar you'll see that it's just as large as everyone else's.

Drew & Hardware Thanks for tip about the icon size. I did check www.ifraniew.com but wound up using Microsofts Office Picture Manager. I have MS Office 2003 & it is part of the package.
