I can see that the avatars are displaying as 100x100 in the threads. By default they display as 64x64. So it looks like you don't have any issues. You have this custom CSS in css_additional:
Code:.b-avatar--m > img { max-height: 275px!important; max-width: 200px !important; height: auto!important; width: auto!important; }

It's 200x275 so it should display at 200x275, but it's being shrunk to 73x100
Avatars within a thread were being displayed at their maximum sizes (max of 200 W) before the update. Then as soon as the update was completed, the avatars were suddenly being displayed with a max width of 100.
-edit-
Here is a screenshot from June that showed how large displayed avatars were before the update. As you can see, they're much larger than 100x100.Last edited by jkotlowski; Tue 9 Aug '16, 2:36pm.Comment

Then it's not a CSS problem. Check the avatar maximum width and height settings for each of the usergroup in AdminCP.Comment

I checked and I think they made some changes to the avatar URLs in 5.2.3. Previously the thread avatars were taken from ./core/customavatars/avatarXXX_XXX.XXX (when stored in fileystem), In 5.2.3, the avatars are now taken from ./core/customavatars/thumbs/avatarXXX_XXX.XXX (notice the /thumbs directory) where the avatars are smaller.
In case if avatars are stored in the database, the previous avatar URL in the thread page was ./core/image.php?userid=XXX&dateline=XXXXXX, now it's ./core/image.php?userid=XXX&thumb=1&dateline=XXXXX (notice the thumb=1 parameter).
That change might make sense, but they should have also fixed the harcoded avatar sizes in the PHP code along with that change and made them configurable.Comment

I checked the "Avatar" tab in the admin CP and it seems like it says avatars are being stored in ./customavatars
It doesn't say ./customavatars/thumbsComment

Yeah it only says the main directory where to store the avatars but automatically created smaller versions of the avatars are stored in the /customavatars/thumbs subdirectory. Current workaround is to copy all the avatar image files in the /customavatars directory to the /thumbs directory (backup the /thumbs directory first!) and overwrite the existing ones. You have to do it everytime there's a new avatar created, though. -
That is very, very frustrating. I sincerely hope the vBulletin devs intend to fix this. And fix it quickly.

Yes. I did as Glenn suggested above and copied all of the normal avatar files into the thumbs folder. It fixed the ones currently in use, but my understanding is that I'll have to do the same thing every time a new avatar is uploaded.Comment

This is also a deal breaker for me as I also use big avatars in my forum. I won't upgrade until this is fixed either by vBulletin officially or by me if I find a workaround.Comment

They closed mine and linked to this one.
Seems I voted for this one some time ago. It's disheartening to see that this complaint was made in 2013 and still hasn't been fixed, however. Especially considering it used to be simple enough to be fixed by a few lines of CSS...
On an unrelated note, I just realized you're the same person I recently purchased a few mods from. I got your message on twitter about joining your site and asking about one of the issues I was having with the profile preview mod, but completely forgot. Lots of distractions with a kid just starting school. lol. I'll get around to that eventually, as well. x.x👍 1Comment

Try this temporary solution.- Go to AdminCP > Styles > Replacement Variable Manager
- Click [Add New Replacement Variable] link for the desired theme/style.
- Enter the following information and click Save. Repeat steps for other themes/styles that your site is using.
"b-avatar b-avatar--m b-avatar--thread h-margin-bottom-l"><img src="./core/customavatars/thumbs/
Replace with Text:
"b-avatar b-avatar--m b-avatar--thread h-margin-bottom-l"><img src="./core/customavatars/👍 1Comment

I've noticed with vb5 that avatars are being re-sized down to ~64x64 regardless of what permissions have been granted to the usergroup.
For instance, the Admin usergroup...-
