Will you notify other Mylotters when you change a new avatar?

I guess I will if I change my avatar.
I have yet to change it since I loaded my a long time ago.
Usually, I try not to change them. Too much hassle to do it. 8p
But if I ever do, I will let my friends know. And if possible, my regular fellow mylotters who are always active in my threads as well.

I tend to tell folks, but that's usually because, for me, avatar changes come with a story that usually feel that sharing with other Mylotters.

Hello, youless.
I'm an old myLotter, and I have to say that, in all this time, I have never changed my avatar. Not even once. And I don't feel like changing it. I do not care too much about my avatar. But it is impressive to see that people really combine the avatar to the image. If you change one, people will suddenly ask: "Who is this?". Then they will read your username and say: "Oh, that's Youless!".
If I changed my avatar, I would not notify anybody. A new avatar means that you are changing. Changes are not meant to be notified. Let people notice them by themselves. You will be able to see which friends are paying attention to your avatar and which doesn't.
Anyway, you have this avatar a while ago already. Are you planning on doing it again?
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I dont it will be necessary..I change my avatar once in a while when I see some nice images
but I think most of mylotters still rely on our names coz they check number of post we have coz thats says a lot by being a member here

Hello Youless......I changed my avatar recenlty,but did not inform any of my friends....Actually i cahnged my avatar from back rose to red rose only at the request of some of my friends,as black appears sombre and moody.....and also it is unsuitable to my character............
But if you change youe avatar frequently its best to notify your friends,so that they may not fail to recognise you.But for me it doesnt matter,because I very often mylot from my notifications,and so a changed avatar does not confuse me.....

In my two and a half years I have been on Mylot I have only ever changed my avatar ONCE! Believe it or not! I am very happy with my picture I have that I have never thought to change it, it is me and people see the true and real Wolfie! So I don't need to inform my friends as they know it's always me they see!

My avatar is the only avatar I wanted but if I were to change it, I would notify all my friends.

Oh yes, I would start a discussion to get some of my friends' attention. I am just afraid that people might not recognise me, so I would definitely do that and make a little announcement, just to be safe.

Hello youless. I have changed my avatar for a few times, but I am glad that my friends here can recognize me without my keeping them informed. It is my username that they can recognize me. So it is the same with me when I am familiar with the username. Good night, youless. See you tomorrow.

I changed my avatar a lot of times already. lol You have a nice picture. Lovable and handsome boy. Avatar do reflects who we are and how we feel. It tells something about our personality.

I changed twice too. I didn't notify them. They can recognize me by name i guess. But yeah, it's better to inform them of the change, wow, but there's hundreds of friends here, that's taxing

i will recognize you at once. your user name is very familiar to me. but of course you have new friends too i know. we all gain friends almost everyday. i open a discussion too informing myloters that i changed my avatar, but this last time i changed but i no longer inform them or mylot. i just changed it. it was a picture of shrek and his family before and now it is a picture of my four children during their toddler years.

I guess not. It's my profile and so I think it is my own choice what to do in it. If it'll get notice much better but if not it is alright. Anyway mylotters respond to the topic they think they can give their best shot and not looking into your avatar.

Yes this is something I would definately do especially as many users here recognise others through their avatars. I must admit I probably won't change mine as it's the same avatar I use on other sites too so the majority of this community and others can easily find me on most sites.
