For NX 1.7 and above:
You can change the size for author pictures from your control panel. Go to Settings > Author Settings and there will be options there "Author Picture Size" where you can give a specific maximum size for author pictures.
For Versions older than NX.1.7, use the following:
The size of an author picture is determined by the actual size of the picture. Should you want to restrict this without actually editing the pictures, you would need to change their display size via HTML. To do this, you need to open up /admin/includes/classes/class.helper.php and then find this function:
function GetAuthorPic($AuthorId, $AddClass = false, $ClassName = "Picture")
Inside it will be this line:
$output .= sprintf("src='%s/authorpics/%s' align=left>", $GLOBALS["AL_CFG"]["siteURL"], $pic);
Just change it to:
$output .= sprintf("src='%s/authorpics/%s' width='64' height='64' align=left>", $GLOBALS["AL_CFG"]["siteURL"], $pic);
(and just change '64' to what ever number you want).
