Some are really comfortable to have their dear Cats,Dogs,Tigers,Pythons(No offence meant)
as their profile pics others have their favourite flowers too.
How Often you change your profile pics----You have any reason to have that particular pic for your profile?
Do you get bored to have the same pic for months together---coming to me -----until now i have changed mine a couple of times
Do you still remember some mylotters coz of their profile pics or you get them by their names .
Do You get used to your friends pics easily or does it take time to get habituated to their new pic

I am comfortable with mine. I have my avatar quite a few times. But now I have got one which I really like (I don't know what others think about it).
Avatars do help us to recognize someone quickly, but I remember most people by their name. So, incase they change their avatar, I would not have any problem thinking "Who is this guy?". There are some pics I really like. Your previous (most famous avatar) was a good one. This one looks cool as well.
As for why I chose this as my avatar? Well I could not find another animated Dragonball Z picture on the net.

Your avatar is weird one---it reminds me of the scanning report of pregnant women lol---it looks more of a baby in a women's womb----holding his fists tight
I shall come up with a good one which would be cool than my first one

For my lot, I would like to change my profile pic, but I am not sure how to. For my other sites, I change my pictures every now and then.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, they make it so hard to delete photos and pictures on here, and when I go to other websites it seems so easy.

Thank you. I remember doing it before, a while back, but it has been so long, that I completely forgot about it. I like this picture a lot more than that one that you all saw of me at Wizard World, and this one is more current.

I update my profile pics (photos) every now and them. However I have used the same ID avatar photo for 4 years and have now intention of changing it. The avatar photo is of my alpha female chihuahua.

BTW I was curious and checked your profile and you do not have any photos uploaded. Also typo as I meant to say I "have no intention of changing it."

Say what??? "I upload pics to my profile only Whiteheather ---- so you cant find any of my pics in my profile page".... That is an oxymoron ...if you upload pics to your profile only then there must be pics(photos) on your profile page!!!

Four years Long with a single pic ----- you cant expect me to have single pic that long lol ---i tend to get bored of it so i would prefer changing ti rather than coming accross the same avatar each day
I upload pics to my profile only Whiteheather ---- so you cant find any of my pics in my profile page

I never change it, because my friends and other recognize me thanks to it
It takes time for me to get habituated to my friends new pics...
It gives a fresh feeling though

yup coming accross the same pic which has been for years would be boring---whle a new pic uploaded to our profile can make it more happening atleast for a day or two

It would up to you-----if you had the same pic for a year(your post count is less so you must have joined this site a couple of months ago) or so then your friends would be delighted to come accross a new Avatar
For me Its Okies dudeeee

Yeah... Maybe...
Do you think that I should change mine?
Thanks in advance for your opinion

I think in a way, this can be related to another discussion asking how often do we take pictures of ourselves. I don't change my profile picture every time I feel like doing it. I am also not fond of taking pictures of myself, so I don't have that much pictures to choose from. So whatever profile picture I have now, there is a pretty chance of it staying that way for about a year or so.

I used to believe that avatars are meant to stay and is our trademarks. But I soon get bored to see the same old avatar starring at me whenever I logged in to mylot. Now I treat my avatar as a decorative accessory to grace my page as changing it does not affect anything since people still get to see my established name here. This is no bragging but since I am an old horse here I am proud to say that my networking is stable and do get a sizable number of responses even though I keep changing my avatar. The name is important as a goodwill bridge to link to all other mylotters. And yes, you look macho in your new avatar. I prefer this well dressed avatar of yours that doesn't show a barren chest!
@sunnycool (12714)

The bare chested one is the favourite of all including men in here
I like your current one though
There are many who identify people as per their profile pics it would be tough for them to keep up with the new pic

Every one doesn't show their chest lol --- it was a trend started by Salman khan then every one followed his foot steps by showing off their six packs

I change my picture semi often. I can't say I change it too terribly often but often enough. I think for the most part I can get situated with a person's pic fairly quickly, and sometimes it's not the pic I go by but their username. It all depends on the person as to which stands out more.
@SomeCowgirl (32191)

Yes it is a bit unique, but I don't think my username is too unique!

Identifying you from a pool of responses would be easy atleast for me----you have a different profile name Girl --- i really wonder how beautiful your real name can be ----- i would check out the profile names of mylotters if they change their current pic only

i seldom change my profile picture or avatar. i never got bored with my own avatar but i change mine once i feel changing it. it is easier for me to recognize a member with avatar but when i see new avatar i always look at the name and the profile to double check if he/she is really a friend already.

you are so funny sunny, i haven't had a grandchild. and i am not that too old to have one or my kids are not that old too to have a child. my current avatar is my youngest child, my 2 year old son, for your information.

I remember your profile pics neil they have a small kid ----is he your Grand kid
We get habituated with the profile pics mostly---a sudden change of it might puzzle us for sure for a second

Hi sunnycool,
This is my forth (if I am not mistaken) avatar since I joint myLot. But I have used current avatar since August last year. I like it because I made it and I never bored to see it.
I can recognize most of my friends by their avatar because they rarely change it. But sometimes I do give a wrong posts when someone use the same avatar like my friends.

@zandi,
Thanks a lot. It is the most honest compliment I ever got about my avatar. I just learn it and try to build my own identity here. For your information, someone ask me if she could put my avatar (image) on her blog. That is really something even though it is very simple. Boleh bah ....
@sunnycool,
You are right. This one can be modified to make it better. When I create this avatar, actually I want to put some frame but I do not know how to do it. I use photoshop.

your profile pic is nice Akuler---i think it can be modified but seems your friends got used to it
I came accross some who recognise their friends from the profile pics than their names

hello sunny,
I always changed my profile pic every now and then.
But,i had troubles changing it since last week.
Yes,i want to change my profile picture,but each time i tried,it always put me in some error,and i don't know why.
I don't use other profile picture other than my own photo.
I like using my own pic,so friends don't have trouble searching for me.

I did mention about your problem in Admins box jaiho----hope she would sort it out

Hi jaiho,there have been complaints regarding the updation of profile pics since the upgrade in here---some have successfully uploaded their pic but it still shows the green man---we getto see the pic they have added when we try to add a comment at their box.I think you should try it once again and if it shows the same error then you should report it to the admin so she can sort it out .
Its really good to see our friends it does reduce the feeling of talking to a stranger

Hi. I don't change my profile picture because I really like it and it suits me well. This is a picture of my cat Kazia.
I don't get bored to have the same picture all the time. I don't know what's boredom at all and picture of my sweet Kazia is great for me everytime.
I often remember mylotters because of their profile pictures. Some of them I remember by thier name too of course. I don't like when someone changes profile pic because I get used to them.
Have a nice day, jazgottt.

I agree with you as I am happy with a photo of my alpha dog and do not get bored with it at all. I know most of my friends by their avatar photo and have to to the trouble of checking their profile to see if they are the same person.

We never get bored of Our loved ones Jazgott---it holds the same with pets and our friends too
@WH----i never had to visit their profile pages lol to cross check if they were the same ones or not

Hi, sunnycool. I often change mines every couple of months or so. And sometimes, I will let it stay up for about six months. I try to pick an avatar that I know is pretty and that represents me to the core. I do get bored with my picture that is why I usually will change it constantly.. I usually will remember someones picture if it stays the same. And I do remember their names too.

I remember your profile pics cream they're mostly flowers---i mean beautiful flowers which are all time favorites of all mylotters except few who fantasize some thing else lol.Its pretty to locate someone by their profile pics by their avatars if they wear that for so long.however we remember profile names as well if we are habituated in addressing them in our responses

hello sunny,
in my more than a year stay here in mylot, i just change my profile pic thrice.
the one that i am using now is my very first one, then i change it to a bride of chucky image who's tiffany! haha and it just last a week , i just use that for fun to compliment with my friend's pic then which is chucky!, then i change it to an eye which is color fuchsia with a little black heart before i bring it back to my original profile pic...as per request...hehe and actually i really feel more comfortable with this one that i am using now.
i don't get bored with this one that i am using now, coz somehow i feel like it already gives me some identity here.
with other lotters, usually i remember them by username, but there are some that i also remember by profile pics but usually they are not on my friend's list. coz i remember my friends by name.
with you, i see that this morning when i saw this discussion you have different pic, and this night when i come to respond, your pic is different again!

I like your profile pic Ckyera----it neither odd or even and i'm sure i dont get bored of your profile pic for sure----i think i missed out the other two of your avatars---we must have been strangers then -----Actually i had to change on someone's demand lol they have been asking me to change it so thought of coming with a new one for few days

In myLot... I just ever once changed my photo profile... I don't really care about it in Mylot because in MyLot I just care about knowledge. But, in FaceBook, after I get a new photo of myself. I will change it!

Hmmm... I think you don't understand... If you CAN see.... I'm not share my LIFE identity in MyLot... You know why? I'm scared share my LIFE identity here. Someone can steal it from here and something bad will happen...
That's why I use cartoon for my profile pic. I will never use my FACE as my profile pic here. It is too dangerous. But not in FaceBook, because, friends in facebook is my family, my close friends.
and, I;m not crazy about FaceBook! I will NEVER waste my time with playing video games... :) Prefer reading a book or something!
