When I read a user's post, I tell who wrote it by their avatar. Not a very good way to identify one since it changes, and when it does, I get thrown all off track. So when you all read a post, do you know who wrote it by their username or their avatar?

If you go by the avatar, remember which users used these? (Or something close to it) [Sorry if I did not choose your avatar, these are the three I remember best]



 
In OT, I do it by the username. In the civ section, I do it by avatar.
 
a sort of combination of both, For instance numerous OTers never or rarely change their avatars so I dont have to bother with looking as they are very reconisable,
 
I always go by avatars, and it throws me off track when someone who's had the same avatar for a long time changes theirs.

The bottom image was newfangle's avatar, right?
 
I rely on avatars and when regulars change theirs I get confused. But maybe it's my rush to senility that is the problem.

Al Bundy = rmsharpe
worker type thing = newfangle
hayek = luiz or a fellow south american `libertarian`?

You sir have a wonderful memory. Don't lose your mind, it will come in handy when trying to remember those anniversaries and birthdays. :p

Why, I even remember your former Lady Liberty avatar, I think.

Unless that was somebody else.

The one I have now? Or the one with the American flag with it?
 
Avatars. It always trips me up when somebody changes avatars, or when two different people at two different forums I frequent use the same avatar.
 
I always recognize people by their avatar, since its easier to do by a glance. If someone has a different avatar or the same avatar as someone else, the content of the post will usally raise some flags so I look at the user name to be sure.

The picture with a superimposed American flag. Though I must say I find the stylized version better.

Do you remember my first custom avatar? Hell, even I don't.
 
Memory is a funny thing. I remember useless avatar crap but I lock myself out of my office at least twice a week.

I just couldn't remember the second one (not Newfangle's, but Hayek, the second picture). I think I wasn't active when luiz used it, because I always remember him having a Rasputin avatar.

I use the avatar for quick recognition (since a general image is easier to recognize than a word or name). If I see an unfamiliar avatar, I'm forced to actually read the name (as opposed to unconsciously reading it when I see the familiar avatar).
 
By avatar of course.

I'm hoping that I won't change my avatar. (You never know, I could get reallt bored one day.)
 
I remember the old avatar newfangle had with his marijuana leaf and all those rainbow colors. :D
 
Wow, I haven't even been here that long, and when I saw the picture of Al Bundy, I thought to myself: it was probably rmsharpe :cool: .

Oh, I go by avatars.
