steel bat has long been my preferred persona.
The name and avatar come from an ancient videogame sprite, chosen for no better reason than I liked the look of it.

I also sometimes use Night Traveller, though not so much these days.

I first tried logging in as N.T. but couldn't remeber the password I used so had to make a new registration!
I change it on different forums. The one I'm using now here is my Gravitar one. I'm probably going to change it soon though.
Humpback wales are awesome! Hope you get to see one in real life one day!Mine is a humpback whale. My favorite whale! Never seen one up close but it's a dream of mine!
I use the same one. To me, it helps people recognize me by not only my name but also my image. For those who use different ones, how do you pick one to use? Anybody ever used the ones that are supplied by the forum itself?
Are you perhaps into astronomy? Do you like Sci-Fi TV shows & movies? Anytime somebody pipes in about 'outer space', I HAVE to ask if they are into astronomy, be it viewing stars or watching shows. I love it & love discussing topics with others.Humpback wales are awesome! Hope you get to see one in real life one day!
I picked my avatar because I love outer space imagery.
I try to stick to a maximum of two different avatars across all the forums I'm a member of, since some places such as here have circular avatars which don't always work well if one of my two choices is tailored to being displayed in a square box.
Probably does, since Forum Promotion is the same. I don't mind it though so don't change it for my sake.I think Xenforo does that standard. I might have to do some template edits or install an add on to get square ones.

Yeah! mine doesn't work too well in the circular - you could say my wings have been clipped !!I try to stick to a maximum of two different avatars across all the forums I'm a member of, since some places such as here have circular avatars which don't always work well if one of my two choices is tailored to being displayed in a square box.
My suggestion would be to edit the image to have the bat moved over towards the left some more, so that it appears more central in the circle and won't look as oddly clipped either. Either that or just resize it so it fits entirely in the circle.
Lol, Sorry about that.
