Is there any way so that they will be resized automatically or fit to the size I set?

It will be resized to whatever size you put in Image Thumbnail Generation settings.

It doesn't get resized to the specific size I set (80x80), it gets resized to 53x80 or 65x80 (width is random) .

It's because the image uploaded doesn't have the same width and height.
XThreads will resize it to the proper thumbnail size, depends on the original size of the image.

If you really need to make it square, and ignore the original size of the image, I think you can add the width and height in the Display Format.

Okay I've added width="80" height="80" in Display Format and it works fine.
The only problem is that pixels are messed up (image blurred).
Nevermind thanks for help.

Yeah. That's why XThreads try to resized it in a proper thumbnail size, depends on the original size of the uploaded image.

You can try to set the Image Thumbnail Generation setting to an higher value, for example: 120x120. Edit the Display Format to use {URL}/thumb120x120, but keep the width and height at 80.
Run the Rebuild XThreads Attachment Thumbnails. I think the result will be better.

I've tried this one, it works fine. Thanks for 3rd time !

You're welcome, Skatman

So here I am again,
If I provide link instead of image then the image of this link will be uploaded in my server.
How can I change it so that it won't be uploaded to my site and it will load directly from the other site I upload my image?

Change the field type to a Text input (actually, you can't change field types - you need to remove your current field and create a new one).  You can use this text input to accept the URL of the image.  Note that images will no longer be uploadable to your server.
