Evan, the other thing I saw was the Avatar changing size. We had our "CAMP-INN" license plate reduced in size and read, "AMP-IN " Kinda funny. We since switched our Avatar to our couples pic, but would love to go back to our license plate image.
Because avatars are square but your license plate is rectangular I'm guessing the left and right edges got cropped. Perhaps you can edit your image in Paint (or a similar program) to make it roughly square (add some space above and below.)
