I actually think avatar borders are something to be added when the discourse updates … or something that helps distinguish moderator pictures … don’t quote me on this. Please. I know you will though 
.
Anyway, we’ve distracted from the topic long enough!
Carry on.
I think your right the distinction becomes an issue, so i have change up my avatar.
I used the same model, but a new camera angle and another background color to make it distinct when small.
well, i forgot i just formatted my PC last week… i dont have any of my image editing tools installed (i think i have a license for elements lying around somewhere)… perhaps i should just install gimp…
unless someone wants to take a stab at “fixing” my avatar? 
If it is your free choice I dont mind actually. If you like that… that… ‘thing’ more thats fine with me.
