Do you use the same avatar for every site and forum or do you like to change it up?
 
I like to keep the same one on each forum I am active on. It helps people recognize me better if they hop around forums too.
 
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.

Yep, I saw that second avatar on your other account before I merged the two accounts.

We do have a forgotten password thingy on the login page. But no worries, merging 2 accounts takes 2 seconds. Easy peezy
 
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.

I have my gravatar avatar set to the one I am using now but I always upload the same image manually to forums when I join. I'm not sure why I do that, its the same picture. Lol
 
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?

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.

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. :)
 
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.

I think Xenforo does that standard. I might have to do some template edits or install an add on to get square ones.

Probably does, since Forum Promotion is the same. I don't mind it though so don't change it for my sake.

Ok, I’m curious though so I’ll look it up. Not necessarily going to change anything.

Yeah! mine doesn't work too well in the circular - you could say my wings have been clipped !!

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.

If you need me to do either of those for you give the word and I'll be happy to do it. :)
 
I used the same name and avatar every where. I have been using Sariki since 2002. Moved to monsteromen around 2010 or so. But I generally keep it the same
