This is probably because the image you used was greater than 130x130 pixels.
When it is over, the uploading system will automatically shrink the image, squishing it up a bit.
I'd shrink/crop the image with something more professional before you upload it.
Try saving it in .png too, it saves the quality.

tried that, I think it might be because vBulletin converts the image type to gif when its uploaded

Please answer, this is really frustrating me!
Note that I have changed my Avy back to one of my previous ones, and it now works

I don't understand what your problem seems to be. All you have to do to fix that is to upload your picture to another site. For example, Photobucket, Tinypic, ImageShack, etc. And use that URL on your profile picture or avatar. You don't have to use pictures from your album unless you want to use images in your profile (offered to supporters and staff).

I seem to be having this problem too. My avatar is much blurrier than it was when I uploaded it. It was a small 120 x 120 avatar, so the system didn't shrink it. It was a .PNG image.
You have to be specific where you uploaded it. Did you upload it to the site? Or did you link to an off-site avatar? You can't really tell unless someone says something because no matter what you did, it gets put on the server.

I uploaded it directly from my desktop to PC. Didn't use another site to host it.

Try uploading it to Photobucket, and then try to upload it with that link.
Edit: It's probably the site adjusting, does everyone elses avatars look blurred too?
Yeah, mines also blurrier than it should be.
I really need a new signature.
