How Often Do You Change Your Profile Photo?

I've had the same avatar for 6 months...OUCH! DON'T get me wrong I love my first picture of me in my 9th grade prom dress. It was to die for, but I gotta agree that it's time to make some serious changes here, so lastnight I changed my avatar to "MY FACE" Awesome huh?..Well that question is clearly for me to answer. Sorry. No one actually likes "MY FACE" but me. Oh yeah, a mylot friend just commented on my new avatar this morning. Thanks friend! If you would look to the left side there, you will see "MY FACE." I know it's NOT the most beautiful thing you've ever seen but it will work for my avatar until I change it again. That could be in a week, tonight, maybe even in the next 20 minutes. Who knows?.. Do you change your avatar often? How often?...

I change mine every few months. I actually just changed mine a few days ago. Right now it is a picture of both of my kids at the zoo. Before that it was my son and before that it has been either him or her.

Since I joined this site I have never changed my avatar as I find it helps keep my identity on the site. I also tend to use the same picture on other forums and discussion sites as I find many other members do this and can easy recognize me from them.

The first avatar I had on here is the same avatar I use on other sites and forums also. That's how people recognize me. That's a good idea.

I actually change mine for the holidays and then the rest of the time it's either a regualar one of our cat Morgana or a multi-colored rose that I have. I like designing ones for the holidays. The one I have now is our Morgana with Christmas decorations around her. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

It is a beautiful face and more than that its a cheerful face.It shows that you are a jolly good felli !! It also show the childlike naughty and cute expression. lol So far I have changed my avatar twice. First I changed it from a flower to my photo and then again to another flower - Daffodil. But it is fun changing your avtar sometimes. I will change it again if I feel like. Maybe again and again and again........

It took me three months and my husband's help to get the one I have, it will just have to do until I am ready to try another. I like your face, it looks very friendly.

I change but not that often.. It is really hard for me to find or choose something that is different or something that I like. Your avatar is nice, I had to take a second look when I logged on. I look at the avatar first to identify a friend then I look at the username.

Thanks Chevee. You pick good avatars, you're far more creative than I am that's for sure.

Everytime I wanted to change my profile pic, my friends nearly shouted their lungs out. And its understandable. Let alone them, even I missed my avatar many times when I had changed it! That's funny but true. I feel, that users are recognised by their profile pic and changing it too often distract the known users. I only change my avatar on special occasions for a day or two. BTW, you have the sweetest smile. Everytime I come across your post I just Love it!

I haven't changed mine at all and don't plan on it. My fiance is Batman, has a tattoo to prove it. He's obsessed. I love him, therefore, I love Batman. He has the same avatar that I do. The only way I'll change mine is if I can find a better Batman photo or logo. I'd use his picture but he wouldn't like that.

Well, if I get used of seeing my avatar and somehow don't like it anymore, that's the time I will change my avatar. Basically, it goes on a situational basis.

I have actually never changed my profile photo/avatar once in the whol two and a bit years I have been here! I do realize that some people like to mix it up a little, but I am so used to the one I have that I have no desire to change it. I guess I am also of the mindset that other friends on here are also used to it and will instantly recognize my activities because of it.

I have only had 2 avatars. The first was a painting of a wiccan priestess and the current one is a picture of me taken a couple of years ago. I am not keen on pictures of me and I usually have avatars that are not me but just for once I thought I would be me and just me. I do not care if people like it or not. I am no longer concerned about other people's opinions of me. I have decided that I will be who I am regardless of approval or disapproval.
