I know I haven't been around much lately but have these avatars gotten smaller?

Or am I just going blind as I approach 30?

they've gotten smaller.

i have to crop them just to make them look okay.

I think you might be right. Did this happen in the last few hours?

They're smaller. You're not seeing things.

Yahoo! is getting rid of Yahoo! 360 and replacing it with their new Profiles System. And it rather sucks really. You only get *one* picture, it gets cropped or squished, and basically the Profile follows you everywhere in Yahoo! Services--you can't do anything to protect your privacy, or to screen people under 18 from seeing your Profile.

It's nuts. It's like Yahoo! has just given up and they've decided to be a cheap knockoff of Twitter, with not one bit of the cool stuff and ALL of the hassles. All of them. If you have a troll or stalker here, under the New Profiles they will follow you everywhere and there's nothing you can do about it.

It's crazy, dumb and lame. Which of course means Yahoo! is going to insist on doing it. Go figure. I feel your pain though....have a star.
