The new GA perk free pet leashing is awesome! I never used that feature because I never wanted to pay for it personally, but I always have a GA so will definitely use this from now one. Yay! One small suggesting for improving it though involves the Pet Headshot selection.
Currently the page uses a square to chose your headshot with. However on the forums your headshot shows up in a circle. It's harder to judge a good headshot when the geometry is different!

Wow, it would make more sense for the pet selector to be a circle as well
Support
In that case we need circular headshots on User Profiles as well...
Yes.
I find the circles to be way better looking
Yes please. It needs to be one or the other.
Personally, I'm more fond of the rounded square headshot, but I'll be happy either way.
I support the change to a circle for the selection, as well as circles on other places of the site (like the profiles). I mean, the circle is already in place for user hover active pet... might as well make this uniform.
Or the circle on the forums should be a box.. that's okay too -laughs-
(I agree though, one way or another uniformity please!)
Yeah doesn't matter which way it goes as long as it's consistent! Personally I like boxes but circles are perfectly fine with me as well.

Yes. Let's keep things the same.
imo the boxes look way better than the circles an option between the two or straight up uniformity would be better though
tbph I prefer the square, but yes I agree that we need them to be one or the other
I prefer the square on our profiles. It feels less cramped than the circle.
But either way, I'm all for consistency. It would also be nice if there was a live preview next to the headshot selector thing, so you could see what the final product will look like while you make adjustments. I hate having to go back and tweak it more when I realize the rounded corners get in the way.

the way i did it is a little hacky, working around the selection code we were already using, but i implemented this on the headshot selection pages :)
Was not expecting this to get fixed so quickly, thank you Grelca!

thank you! I noticed this today when I was trying to get my pet's nose in the picture. It's much better now!
I noticed this earlier when I was on the headshot page; thank you for the change!
Ditto on prefering the square headshots b/c they circles look tiny and squished in comparison, and I can fit more of my pet's faces in them. orz
Honestly the rounded square flows much better with the rest of the site, especially on the forums since the HA box is a rounded rectangle. And the circles leave a bit of unneeded extra space on profile.
Maybe you guys could do a little poll one what to keep it as. Square or Circle.
