Which do you have and why? Does it bug you when someone who has been here a while and answers lot of questions still has the default smiley face? Also, do you give more credence to people with actual photos than you do to those with Avatars? Just curious.
 
I use an avatar for privacy reasons, which i guess is silly since i have a myspace and facebook but those are set to private and i only except people i know in real life.
But i am a real person answering questions with my honest opinions and all my questions pertain to my life and real questions i have.
I often wonder if people don't take people with avatars or smiley faces seriously though because it seems impersonal.
 
can you help me put areal pic up here lol i don't know how. but no it dosent bother me
 
I used to have an actual photo of myself until they did away with 360. Now I am just too lazy and imcompetent when it comes to computers to try to figure out how to put up another picture. This cartoon avatar is something that I just played around with a long time ago and Y!A automatically put it up since my real photo was no longer existent. I don't really like the default smiley's, but oh well. Real pictures or cartoon avatars don't bug me and it doesn't really matter to me.
 
well, ive had this avatar forever, i was going to put my kids as my avatar, but ive never fooled with sitting down and figuring out how lol.


aha, its not the kids ( i cant find a good one of them both) but it will do for now lol.
 
I have my son's picture so that I can look at him all day while I'm at work :)

I do tend to notice answers more with people who have pictures...and remember them moreso that the cartoon avatar or smiley faces!
 
I use my own face, because it uniquely identifies me as me -- and if you're ever in the DC Metro area and happen to spot me on the train, you can just come up to me and say, "Hey -- Reverend Soleil!"
 
Avatar I've had since I've started - I just changed the hair when I grew it longer.
When answering, doesn't matter a whit to me - I rarely look at the avatar, pic, or name... it's all about the question.
 
I only switched to an avatar because they changed the default. If the hadn't I would still have it. I don't pay much attention to that stuff.
 
Ohh... I miss my son being my avatar photo!!!
But since I dont have a computer at home, and I am at work, I cant upload another one!
And the stupid yahoo updates made my son diasappear and Im stuck with my bug eyed, bubble lip chick. Lol
I miss my son being there, I could see him all day while I was working!! Im thinkin of going by my moms this weekend and re-uploading pictures lol
So monday you will get to see the brodster again =]

ANd to answer your questions!!
I notice and remember people with photos alot more than the cartoon people.. It doesnt bug me if they dont change it, but I do love to see everyones babes :)
 
I change mine often,usually it is one of my children,me or a graphic I made.I don't think any differently of someone who has no picture or a picture of their self or even a random picture..
