Continuing the discussion from Design suggestion box :
And that line would be… ?
Oh, uh, I’m just asking for a friend.
In Firefox, you can use the Stylish addon to set a user-style. It’s also available for Chrome but I haven’t tried it out personally.
NOTE: I have found myself logged-out once or twice when installing or adjust user-styles. I then had to login again.
NOTE: Instructions are from my Firefox run; I don’t know if Chrome is different.
Install, restart FF.
Click the Stylish icon
Write New Style
For bbs.boingboing.net
Enter the following style:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("bbs.boingboing.net") {
img.avatar {
border-radius: 0%;
}
}
Once applied, your results should look something like this

Have we all recovered from The Great Rounding?
Yeah, I think we’ve all figured out how to work around it or make use of it.
I may go back to the star version I was using for a bit…

I’ve got squares at work, but haven’t been bothered to replicate at home.
In general, I’m a fan of giving users more control over images – self-crop, etc. And cutting off the perfectly-good corners when there is no packing-algorithm to jam the circles together seems prideful without offering any user benefit.

It also looks nice, I guess.

I like this! Want to set it up in Chrome, but I get an error:
What do you suggest?
Have major image bank search engines started offering a “search for perfectly circular images” option?

Never bothered me; but then again, I specifically chose an avi which looks decent in almost any shaped thumbnail.
Doing some spring cleaning are ya, Jeff?

Maybe Quentin Tarantino didn’t know how to set up the aspect ratio on his monitor correctly.

I’m fine, thanks.
But just since you asked…at least several times a day, I grab someone’s avatar and pull it to the side, in order to see it as a square, to find out what got cut off. (I may be kinda weird that way…)

I prefer the square ones, but barely care enough about the issue to post about it.

I can’t see it doing anything… just takes me to the BBS main page with no noticeable difference. (Chrome Version 51.0.2704.79 m on Win10.)
