This wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a stroke on the circle. I decided to just leave it as a circle because everyone is making their avatars work for that. :(

I'll see about the stroke
 
Stroke would ruin avatars which have a background that are the same colour as their container (typically only to match the thread view user info background).
Thanks to recent changes, the stroke is gone and proper blended-in transparency is now possible. A good step forward :)

Now, can we get some squares, please, or is someone still holding on tight to his vision of circles for everyone?

Look. I'm one of the people seriously affected by the change in the avatar policy. On mobile, the round avatars look fantastic (retina, smaller format) but on desktop it's neither here nor there for me. The best option would be to make it a user CP setting and be done with it.

Is this true? I didn't change it myself, but the designers deployed some changes today.

I still see a stroke around certain avatars:

Round is the new square

Dude, love your avatar.

We should start a best live Dead show thread..to listen to on your iPhone of course. I vote for anything 1970–1978. (No cheesy Casio-playing Brent Mydland or crappy 80s (or worse, 90s) Dead please.)
