    Hello, everyone!

    I just wanted to take a brief survey to see what you all thought about the current round avatars and whether or not they should be switched back to squared.

    Pretty simple. Interested in hearing your feedback.

    Cheers!

    Makes no odds to me but I did say that its a bit weird earlier. I think it'd be good if you could make it a thing you can toggle? Like, either so your displays as your preference to everyone or its just a thing where you can choose what it looks like to you. I like the circles honestly, they're sleek, but they also cut off a lot of people's avatars.

    It's not currently possible to make it toggle-able or I would. Everything that I can make toggle-able has been made toggle-able.

    That option doesn't exist.

    I favour squared. And perhaps the ability to pick your own flag?

    Aw that's a shame. Well, I'm voting circle then but we'll see where the poll goes I guess.

    Flags are automatically determined based on your IP address origin. You can turn your flag off in your settings, though.

    I like it showing the country you're currently in, helps work things out with timezones etc. I'd say leave it, unless it's incorrect for some people.

    I like the round avatars, but none of the avatars I've made for people here were designed to be round, so I feel obligated to vote square.

    Yeah I prefer square as well since that's how most avatars were designed

    Vote square people, round looks all fancy. But it also means you got /less/ avatar to look at.

    Rhombus is an option you silly geese. A square is a rhombus. I vote circle because it's sleek, and my rhino's horn fits the circle perfectly <3 @Jay I love it so much thank you thank you

    It should be square, most of them were designed to be square, as Zephzer stated. Even yours looks better in square.

    Nonsense. Cocoa Finch looks gorgeous in round... And any other character portrait that's centered, too.

    Square, because people who want round ones can just make round avatars.
