I don't change mine. People recognize users by their avatars, not their user names. It's how people recognize me over the site. It's one of the reasons I hate when people use the same avatar, it's confusing.

I agree, I am not going to change mine. I, and I believe most people depend on the avitar for quick identification.
People remember a picture easier than a name. I believe there was actually a study on something similar. They had pictures with certain words...Like a picture of a flower and the word chair. After x amount of time the the picture of the flower said book. Well I don't know the whole study but changing the word with the picture really messed people up.

I change my avatar quite frequently, and this is avatar number 6 for me.
I had been using a Santa for the Christmas period and added a Scottish Piper for New Year, so naturally I changed it again earlier today because the occassion has passed. I normally choose an avatar at random, and have a large collection of animated images that I can use so it is only a matter of time before I try another one.
I have noticed a few members changing their's regularly, while others are happy to use the original choice, but this is a simple matter of personal preference.

I like your new avitar. It is really patriotic and lively. I don't change my avitar at all. I don't because I think people look at the picture more than they do the actual name. I want my friends to know at a glance which posts are mine. Besides, I really like my avitar, lol. I have thought about changing it several times, but each time I think about my friends associating it with me. Have a wonderful new year.

Well, I changed my avatar 3 times already and the last one is own creation with paintbrush...
Anyway, I like yours.

I have changed mine here a couple of times, and have actually been considering changing it again. I just am not sure to what though. I get bored with the one I have on here, and change it up from time to time to see how it influences people responding to my discussions here as well.

I like your flag a lot.
I keep my profile picture the same all the time. I get used to my friends, and then it's changed, and I am not sure who is who. But it's taste. No rules against it.

I have stuck with mine for a while, and will probably keep it up for a lot longer. I do like your new one... reminds me of the 4th of July :)

yes i keep the same avtar/picture in my profile, i don't like to change it everytime, because many people recognize us via our avtar only, and its easy too

I am glad u asked this question because I was wondering the same thing. I like to change mine. I am always changing stuff, my desktop,screensaver,ringtone etc. In fact I catch myself sometimes and have to stop wasting my own time. lol
