Xenforo 2.1 will bring a number of fairly significant changes to the GameSquad forums. Version 2.1 is still in the beta stage, but anticipated for general release within a few weeks. We'll keep on posted on that.
Round Avatars
As part of the update to Xenforo 2.1, avatars will be rounded by default.
There's been quite a bit of discussion regarding this change over at the Xenforo support forum, with some developers loving it and others hating it. Personally, I'm undecided at this point. I'll reserve judgement until the update is complete and if I don't like the way it comes out, I'll search for a way to disable this feature.
On the plus side, the 2.1 update will put small avatars on the thread list for both the thread starter and the last poster, and will also add small avatars to the forum home. I like that change as it makes it a bit easier to keep track of who started discussions, etc.
If you want to see an example of a forum running the 2.1 beta with the new avatars on the forum home, check out the official Xenforo support community.
