    I'm unsure if I'm derping on something here, but...

    PS: That view is from Profile posts.

    I'm familiar with other XF forums and to fix that, I would simply go to the avatar editor, hold the right button from my mouse and simply drag the image to the position I want it to be. However, it behaves differently.

    The avatar editor window itself is different from the one I'm used to use:

    I'm sorry if my question but how can I fix this?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    I think that happens because KHV allows custom sized avatars with different dimensions instead of the traditional forced square format. If you want a different thumbnail you'll have to crop the original image before uploading it.

    If you can provide me with the unedited version of your avatar, I can help.

    This is a style issue with the avatar editor and therefore won't be resolved (KHV8 will be replaced and I'd rather divert my time to that rather than fixing old issues). For the time being, the easiest solution would be to crop your avatar into a 200px by 200px version (or other square dimension) and simply use that.

    I see.
    Thank you very much, everyone. I'll do as suggested.
