When board members change their avatars?? I love to see the new pics but it sure throws me off, I was wondering where susieallaboutquilts and purplemem had went off to but then realized that they had just both changed avatars!!

kathy 03-01-2011 07:20 AM

yes, the avatar is like your face on here, sometimes i may not even know your name but know you by your avatar

donnajean 03-01-2011 07:21 AM

Yes, I'm very bad on names, but remember the Avatars.

sueisallaboutquilts 03-01-2011 07:24 AM

Awww, you noticed!!!!!!!! :D
I wanted everyone to see my MOM!!! She recovered at our home from major surgery and we went out to dinner for my birthday. (belated but who cares)
I was so excited to have my Mom with us!!
I have a lot to be grateful for :)

I know what you mean but I get tired of seeing the same thing on mine so I switch up every so often :) I don't recognize me either :)

sueisallaboutquilts 03-01-2011 07:25 AM

I personally LOVE furbaby avatars, Cyn! I'm such a furbaby freak :D:D

I think about changing mine, but I don't cause I know I recognize people's avatars, and I figure they recognize mine.

Isn't that the truth? Sometimes I don't remember the name, but I can always spot the avatar.
I changed mine once, I used to have Tinkerbell

I just changed mine this morning. Before it was a picture of the October Sky quilt.

RatherB Quilting 03-01-2011 09:31 AM

:) I was just looking at mine. It is a pic of my daughter at about 10 months or so. She turns two in April. I wasn't sure if I should update it tough...even I look for my own avatar when scanning posts. LOL!

I like avatars that are pictures of the people and or their family or fur babies. I know I do not have an avatar yet, but I am working on it. I associate with peoples faces.

blzzrdqueen 03-02-2011 08:03 AM

I try not to change mine very often, just for this reason. My current one has been up since August.

lynnie 03-02-2011 09:37 AM

yes it does, but i changed mine recently too, mine was of my furbaby Xanadu, who stepped onthe rainbow on August 27, 2010, and people asked what i look like, and it broke my heart to look at him allt he time, so i changed it.

Homespun 03-02-2011 10:09 AM

I might change mine--if I could take the time to read how to do it! Ha ha ha

Sandy-lou 03-02-2011 10:37 AM

Guilty as charged..... have changed mine serveral times. I liked my street art alley cat but thought I would put up a pic of the tassie devil for a while.

Yes. In fact I've thrown myself off by my own avatar changes LOL!!!!

Olivia's Grammy 03-02-2011 04:16 PM

I like to change mine as Olivia grows. Hope it doesn't throw you off, but instead enjoy watching grow.

CarrieAnne 03-02-2011 04:54 PM

I really like your new one, Grama Lehr. :-D

But I admit to losing track of who is who when they change their avatars. Although, I am remembering a few by name now.

What I would like to know, is how do you get your named spelled as a written signature?? those are really neat.

I just changed mine too. I grow orchids and like to show them off. LOL

madamekelly 03-02-2011 10:19 PM

OK, some one here asked us to show our pictures, so I put a new one up as my avatar instead of my DGD. Sorry to confuse anyone.

BTW, what is your avatar? I've been trying to figure it out, it looks like a chicken in a pot...

cmagee84 03-03-2011 03:06 PM

I love the variety of avatar's! I only have this one picture I like of myself! :) I don't post enough to be recognized anyway!! By the time I read the posts there are so many pages of replies that I don't reply!

auntiehenno 03-05-2011 12:44 PM

Love the avatars, esp. fur babies and cute kids.
