Avatar dimensions

WaluigiWare

I'M NOT A PIMP!
I am trying to upload an image for an Avatar (seen on the left), but every time I try to save it, it scales up the image to 125 x 125 (the image's original dimensions are 125 x 84), and thus the image comes out looking bulky and stretched.

Why is it doing that? Do images uploaded as Avatars have to be exactly 125 x 125?
 
Yes.

If it's already 125x84 then upload it to a different site and link to it.
