SMK Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 When this latest iteration of Kung Fu Fandom Forum was brought back, the profile photos were displayed as a square. I eventually changed them to be rounded, as I felt it looked more modern. I guess a big part of this, was because all social media platforms display their profile photos rounded. Please provide your feedback on which shape you prefer, by either participate in the poll, leaving a comment here, or both. Thank you. *The reason why I am asking for everyone's preference, will all make sense soon enough. ROUND SQUARE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I personally don't have a preference, but I really appreciate all the hard work you put into these forums @SMK. I cant put into words, how this great online community has helped me over the past couple of year's. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted November 15, 2020 Member Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I like the round shape but I would not mind to have them square. To be able to take part in the poll, I voted for round shape Edited November 15, 2020 by Chu Liu Hsiang 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted November 15, 2020 Member Share Posted November 15, 2020 I strongly prefer the square, as for the most part the square is easier to work with for cropping etc. (I didn't want to make my current avatar/profile photo look like it's squashed just before the text appears but that felt like the best way to fit the text in the round shape). Most images I come across are kind of square or rectangular like most image sensors/film there captured on or screens/prints there displayed on. I assume the reason social media platforms display their profile photos as rounded is there designed with portraits in mind. As far as I can tell a portrait of a single person seem to be what the round shape is mostly suited for. Personally I prefer most other types of images being displayed as a rectangle or square shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted November 15, 2020 Member Share Posted November 15, 2020 I like both, but it seems to me that one can see a little bit more of the original picture in the square one. I'm now used to the round one...You should maybe give the opportunity to vote for both ?...Which wouldn't help you a lot to make your decision, I know... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted November 17, 2020 Member Share Posted November 17, 2020 I couldn’t tell you why, but I feel the round profile pics are a better fit for the current design and layout of the forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMK Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 It looks like rounded profile pics is the clear winner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
