the cropping on tall avatars into the circle view is so funny
We have to crop avatars to a 1:1 ratio for like 99% of the areas they're displayed , and a circle looks incredibly better than a square would
Basically it's a preview for your avatar, then in the postbits and member profiles you get to see the full one. It's not weird, it's how literally every social network works lol

So I think I'll change the welcome block up top to use the full size avatar. The ratio isn't very important there.
For places where the avatars must be 1:1, would everyone prefer a circle or a rounded square? (Non-rounded square would just look like a mistake imo)

Yeah that's why I went with circles for cropped avatars in the first place. Helps them stick out
Circle cropping is pretty standard for profile pictures and profile pictures alone, maybe it's something to do with those round frames people used to use for portraits

But on message boards people like to exploit the fact that they can use transparencies and shit like that and circles just kind of ruin the whole avatar.
would it be possible if we could choose to use either a circle or a square while choosing the area it crops? I don't mind the circle personally
Yeah I do like the circles, I'm hoping with the cropping tool they'll be acceptable
