I just signed up with my google ID, but was given this geometric pattern as an avatar instead of my normal profile pic associated with my google account. Any reason for this or plan to change this?
edit - or actually, to make it square & 50x50 http://graph.facebook.com/zuck/picture?type=square
(You are supposed to be able to add &height=45&width=45 but it seems that the smallest it will resize to is 48 pixels)
Come on someone [with the skills to do it]… PR Social Avatars please. I’m surprised they’re not a part of Discourse: the friction-free social logins seem such a contradiction given that users then have to manually upload a profile picture, even though they have one set for the social login they’ve just used. It’s such a confusing prospect for Joe and Jane Public who are not forum frequenters.
