    It can be uploaded to a thread, imgur, and all the other xenforo forums I use without issue, but on this forum it's got the blue bar. Seems to be transparency related.

    Working on Anandtech:

    Why not either crop out the 12-13px wide transparent area or fill it with white? I use white for the backdrop of my circular avatar on this forum - for that reason.

    That's just it, there isn't a transparent part of the image I upload. I just think it has to do with transparency because I tried uploading a different avatar on a different xenforo forum and it's transparent parts were blue.

    You have obviously realized this, but the image the forum shows us includes transparency. Try making the dimensions square before uploading it as your avatar.

    Can you attach your file here?

    I replicated the problem (on my own profile) using your file. Apparently there's something the forum doesn't like about that file. If you look at the righthand margin it's actually offset considerably when it becomes your avatar (that's why you've got transparent pixels on the left - there is a lack of data after the shift). I resaved it as a PNG (same format as before) and it works fine now.

    Sure. It is pretty weird.
