CodeOptimist Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I recognize a member primarily by their avatar. Of course, I notice the username, but the avatar is "associated" with a particular member in my mind.What about everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Petrius Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 All of them combined. I myself have a rather common avatar (there might be as much as three people with the same one), so I watch for the sig too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I look at the avatar first. If that's not enough I'll check the username as well of course, but the avatar is easy to see and there's usually no more than one person per avatar (there are exceptions of course).

ElfTheHunter Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Depends on the user, if I'm looking for a particular post I usually look by avatar or username color. But normally I just check the username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I look at the avatar first. If that's not enough I'll check the username as well of course, but the avatar is easy to see and there's usually no more than one person per avatar (there are exceptions of course). just so i don't have to type my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 It's username for me, except for if I am in search of a post by a moderator. But then I check for the color and have to look at the name as well afterwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukkit Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Mainly by the username, but at first, before a forumer makes a solid impression on me, every element (avatar, sig, etc) helps me. After some time you can change your avatar whenever you want; I'll still recognize you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Hawk Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 mainly username & avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Petrius Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Anyway, it's not only the avatar itself, it's the shape and main colour used too.I think round avatars are from 0a.d. and the square ones are from TLA(?), but it helps to recognise people.

DarkAngelBGE Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Yeah, you are right MArcus, round ones are from 0 A.D., square ones from TLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeros Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Whenever I look for a post by me in a thread, I always look for my avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I agree with Bobby. Mine is so easy to spot, and therefore I can find where I posted quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichigrande Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 theri avatar is the thing that stands out the most, but then again they;re always changing it so it's hard to choose between avatar and username, but i use the avatar more so i voted for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
