Did you ever change your avatar and then not be able to recognize your own answers?

Once, I thought that you were Leanne. :) I’d like to see the penguin back!

No but I get confused when others do. A lot.

Nope.

Yes. I switched it to a picture of myself for a few days in my first year of membership here. Couldn’t find myself easily and switched back. This one’s pretty distinctive.

Yes! I changed mine a couple of weeks ago after having the same one for about two years.

Only a few times but that was only when I spoofed another avatar and did not check closely enough, thinking they were me.

^ Beware, you might get spoofed Hee hee hee

Yes! I used to change my avatar frequently. Now I just leave it as it is. Easier that way.

@downtide Your new avatar looks like an evolution from your old one. I didn’t even need to look at your name to know it was still you. Well done :)

Aside for dressing up for holidays I’ve never changed mine. Probably never will.

Yes, I have to keep searching for my dogs.

Many times. When other people change their avatar I get confused.

I still fondly remember the time my bunny ears avatar was spoofed. It was great fun.

No

I haven’t changed my avatar since I started this account. I’m sure I’d have more trouble finding my own answers because usually this bright orange avatar sticks out like a sore thumb.

Once in a while, like when I used the Burl Cain avatar just recently. When I use killer vehicles or electricity for my avatar my posts stand out to me better.

I don’t really ever change it.

I don’t use one so I don’t care. What is assigned everywhere ( I am at at least 10 of these places ) is five with me.

The user name ( which I do use a lot ) means something.

Nope. I never change.

I change it occasionally, usually for a holiday or celebration, and I do have a problem finding my responses.

I once changed my avatar for Halloween because we were talking about what would make for the creepiest icon. I found a horrific image and used it as my profile pic. I got lots of PMs and public call outs about it. People said it was creepy and scary looking and they wanted to see Marcie back. I got stubborn and refused to take it down until after Halloween.

But then, half a day later, I opened up some thread I posted in. I saw my own icon and jumped back. I thought “Oh MAN! That pic is NASTY!” then I realized it was mine. So I changed it back. I didn’t mean to creep myself out.

@keobooks What image was it?

Welcome back, @penguin!

@glacial Thanks iceberg! I can’t stay out of my penguin suit for long!

I usually don’t have any trouble finding my answers. I enjoy changing my surroundings in different ways, and changing my avatar is one of them. Change challenges the mind and is a good exercise for the brain. My memory is something I never want to lose!

There was a time when I did become confused for a moment. I have used Marcie as an avatar before (my husband used Peppermint Patty). This was a long time ago. Then I noticed @keobooks one day and it made me look twice! I had to remind myself I was no longer using that avatar. :)

@jonsblond I’ve enjoyed the twinned avatars that you and @blondsjon use. Lately, though… you seem to be on different wavelengths. ;)

@dxs – I can’t recall exactly what it was, but I think it had a ton of razor sharp needle teeth and it was biting an eyeball. I put “scary” in google and searched until I found something I thought was disturbing. It was this doll looking thing.. lots of teeth. I wish I could remember more.

It wasn’t this but it was kind of like it. I can’t find the exact one anymore.

Haven’t had that problem yet, but with each passing birthday I worry about the possibility of a time when I see my current avatar and won’t be able to recognize my own answers.

Hypo pretends to be me sometimes. That confused ME for a while. ^_^

I’m nearly always some kind of “A”, so even when I change my avatar it’s usually not too hard to find myself.

I’ve used 3 avatars in the past 7+ years – the old Calvin & Hobbes Hug, a halloween pic of myself, and this custom hearkat, so I can always find myself, but I do get messed up when others change theirs.

I have a folder with some regulars I use. I use a hippie van, a horse and a cannon most of the time. I also use a stop sign. I’ve used these same ones for years and it helps me find myself as no one else uses these photos.

Nope. I have never changed mine in… five (?!) years. wow

I do, however, get confused in real life when I change my outfit.

@tinyfaery: I miss the lips.

@Seek_Kolinahr Hypo pretends to be me sometimes. That confused ME for a while. ^^
You may get confused again. You are just so “spoofable”; and we do not have to agree on everything to be spoofed Aye Capt’n if we spoof into warp speed the engines may not hold!
