an avatar is a symbol or picture that represents you...on the board, the avatar is posted on the left side under the person's screen name.

An avatar is the photo under your username. Is that what you meant?

In online games, an avitar is the picture that represents your character.

It's like an icon for people.

Fabaddict, why don't you post a pic of your lovely quilting room or your stash of fabric or even better, a pic of Trudy.
When you see mine, you will know who I am.

There was a movie by this name, wasn't there? Did it have anything to do with representation? Never saw the movie just blue creatures on comercials for it.
