I see that mta has done it by putting a circle around his).

yeah, took a bit of mucking around, resizing, scaling,  etc.
it finally looked presentable after I put in the circle border but I can't be sure it helped or I finally just got lucky.

I'm not a fan of the circle images in this forum software version. Seems too restrictive, someone may want something square instead, and don't forget about the triangle fans.

I've been having a look round and it seems that on many IPB (and other) forums there have been moans about the round avatars.

Some love 'em, some hate 'em.

It can be changed back to show square or rectangular avatars, but it's not as simple as a settings switch like it used to be in earlier versions of IPB.

It appears that you now have to modify the skin CSS code from the default.

Whether Admin would consider changing this is another question?

and then there are those flat earth believers (although I can think of more descriptive nouns than that).
they'd want a one pixel straight line wouldn't they, with magical ice walls at the ends.

The Earth while it's a sphere isn't technically round, as explained here. Hey the magical ice walls keep you from falling into outer space.

a festive thanks to all participants.

sad to see them all go now...  but a wake-up call that work continues regardless.
