    I really hope this is just an April Fool's Day prank, but happening so late in the day I doubt it. Regardless, it looks awful, but I have to post to see what my avatar looks like in this nightmare.

    This too shall pass. Either a bug, or an April fool's joke, or just the next thing we'll learn to live with. If it's the latter, this might need to be addressed.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    I thought that at first, too.
    But while the shape is an ellipse, but it is actually an ellipse crop.
    Not a distortion / horizontal stretching of the original image.

    My original image is a small square. The ellipse crop rounds the top and bottom a little bit.
    The sides are empty (white). So the crop is larger horizontally than my original image.

    Unless or until this is straightened out, when starting new threads, some of us might want to include our usernames in the thread title. That way others will at least know who started the threads.
    On the other hand, some posters might like it better the way it is.😉

    The number of messages used to be bold. Now it blends in with the rest, example "My Bookmarks."

    And when you try and add an image, half of the pop up box goes off screen to the right.

    Not really digging it, but, I really like this token!

    I just wish companies would ask their clients if it's ok for them to change things. Then, they would have thousands of options to choose from. :o

    However, I don't care for the elongated avatar; I can't see my dogs head and eyes. :'(

    On a forum about coins, with so many members using coins for their avatars, an oval cropping is... a choice.
    Also the top bar formatting is broken

    At least we can still paste pictures into the text field.

    I don't mind minor formatting changes, as long as the functionality is there. For example, I have gone through a period where my comments were "in moderation" (and never posted) due to a glitch. Looks like that is fixed now... he says with fingers and toes crossed...

    But I will weigh in: oval avatars on a coin site is a wee bit odd. Looks kinda like a CAC bean shape to me. heheh
