Default Is border-radius out of style?

I noticed a lot of the new redesigned sites are getting away from using any border-radius. I found myself liking these designs. What is everyone's thought on this? My site is http://www.CanesInSight.com and I use border-radius throughout the site.

If it fits with the rest of the site design it can look fine. I think its just a one of the changes that is 'in' right now in line with having super minimalist site designs. I think it's too early to say if it will become the standard or not.

I have found with responsive designs it is a bit easier not to have the border radius, it also cuts a bit off the page load and processing for older slower mobile devices, however, I think @BBNZowner has it about right. Facebook used a small page load technique and it caught on as a style.

The reason it is more "in?" It's only fairly recently it is supported widely by most all browsers.

You are right, as it was not supporteddirectly by the CSS3 standard property "border-radius", but for all practical purposes it has been supported by all "desktop" browsers through dedicated browser properties. vBulletin4 supported it in 2009.

But point taken.

Right, and it's also only fairly recently that WebKit supports radius. Use ta be and not all that long ago, it wouldn't render it at all.

As long as you don't overuse it.
Something that really bothered me is the box-shadow usage of vBulletin, the default style has it everywhere!

You can open your site on Internet explorer to see the differences
thus I didn't use border-radius on important parts on my forum
I used images instead and they are displayed as well
Have a look on my site http://www.webmastersun.com

I guess vbulletin.org should not upgrade at all since it is now the time without border-radius. Few seconds tweaking css, vbulletin.org can get modern minimalist look. :-)
