Why the Round Avatars?

Think so. It might also be a third party Twitter app called tweetcaster. Either way I like it - think it is softer and more welcoming.

Personally I prefer the round avatars! :smile:

Iā€™ll say it one last time. Itā€™s not a matter of preference. I simply canā€™t see the new round ones.

Iā€™m not sure what you mean here. You mean when the avatars changed from square to round you stopped being able to see them here? Or are just some of them too light to see?

25

I vote a reversion back to square

I thought it was me,initially i was going to ask the same question but didnā€™t want to look like a idiot.

When I try to add a pic it doesnā€™t work.

I canā€™t see what the pictures on the round avatars on the page where topics are listed. I can see them on this page where they are larger. I canā€™t see them where the red arrow isā€¦theyā€™re even smaller.

I like the round ones better for some reason.

Theyā€™re not too light to see. I stopped being able to make out what the pictures were of when they change to the circles. I looked back and am able to make some of then out but it takes an effort to study the others + make out ones that are less recognizeable and there are those that I canā€™t identify. However I am just one leg on the centipede. No one else seems to have this problem. I can live without them.

Computer, and same computer where the square ones showed a row of avatars, not just oneā€¦this is what I get since the change from square to roundā€¦

This is what it looked like with the square avatarsā€¦

Im kind of in the middle on the round avatars. I think there easier on the eyes but I also think the cut some of the avatar picture out. I havenā€™t noticed any other changes though.

i hate them, change them back pls :+1:

i will not conform to your beliefs about circles over squares

Sorry folks - I just upgrade the software - I donā€™t develop it. We get what the developers give us. I canā€™t change it.

Easily fixed. Just need to put this into the main stylesheet for your theme:

img {
border-radius: 0px;
}

img.avatar {
border-radius: 0px;

}

The rounded corners are courtesy of a CSS hack. (They are currently set to 50% instead of 0px.)

No big drama for me as I was rounding the corners somewhat previously. But do prefer a choice in the matterā€¦I must be delusionalā€¦ I thought we were living in a democracy.

The user cards do seem to come up a lot faster then I remember. So thatā€™s one good thing. I remember was a long drawn out wait to get them to come up. I often had to click them like 5 times to lift them on the board. Now a simple click and itā€™s there.

Hopefully they can do something about the Emojis as they are so very slow to load.
