When members sign up, they do one very important thing (sometimes in haste), which can come to define how other members will think of them forever more: upload a profile photo. Most people do a great job of uploading their avatar, but what if that image isn’t cropped the way they intended or hoped?
Need to crop your avatar image to make it fit the space or emphasize an important detail in the image? Now, you can.
We’re happy to report that we’ve added a new tool to the member sign-up flow that allows members to crop their photos. This cropping tool allows members to choose a square portion of their uploaded image and cut out everything else. It doesn’t change the resolution of the uploaded image. In fact, it saves the original image so members can re-crop a photo or “start over” again (and again) if they wish.
This tool works for existing avatars, too.
It’s a simple tool, but one that will undoubtedly help members present themselves in the way they want to be presented. Go ahead - fix that cutoff head of yours.

Good point, it's not very clear, is it?
It's helpful to note that this new cropping tool will appear when you upload a new profile pic.
How To Access Cropping Tool
1. Navigate to your "My Page". Hover over your current profile pic and click the "Change Picture" link.
2. Click the Browse button to upload a new picture. 
3. Once your photo is uploaded, you will be presented with the new cropping tool! Simply crop your photo as desired and click save.

If Rob were here he would crop yours too. But then again, your face would no longer be in the picture... :D
