Agreed. However, since there is unlikely to be a reversion, I’d like to reiterate my previous suggestions:

1. Preview the round avatar at upload. This is the bare minimum requirement.
2. Allow the user to select what part of their uploaded image is displayed (as mocked in @awesomerobot’s post [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/round-avatars-in-topic-list/27098/15)). This would be preferred.
