I am smitten with the kittens....Thinking of changing my avatar

[haiiro]

I've changed a few times in the past, although I've come full circle and am now back where I started. Go figger.

I hadn't caught the switch back yet, but I'm with Barendd -- I like this one better than the rest.

As for switching avatars in general, I guess I lean to leaving them along or being known for switching (like clay). I fiddled with mine for a day, then stuck with the original. Overall, it's definitely no big deal.

Ultimatly it's your choice, but still I'd not mind. That kitten pictures changing all the time...

Is it generally bad to switch avatars?

Yes, but I don't hold it against anyone who does change.

But will it confuse people? I've heard a few folks say that they don't like when people change avatars because people get used to seeing one and associate that with you more than even your user name.

I don't associate the a persons avatar with them more than their screen name, but the avatar does stand out more. So when I quick glance over I identify the pic faster than the name.

Final verdict: stick with the kitty avatr, because as you said it's just to cute.

I prefer avatars with people's faces, but that's not an issue of changing your avatar .

And the kitten is darned cute.

Theres actually a whole series of those, taken from the Disciples computer game and modified for a mod-file for Heroes of Might and Magic III. All of them would make great avatars. I oughtta offer them up to the community at large, I suppose...

In fact...

i always thought your avatar was by todd mcfarlane.

 

[Desdichado]

It's very much in the same style, isn't it?

They should place those pics in a Joshua Dyal cat in the avatar area.
