why not put a real picture as AVATAR ?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people 3 years ago

Many men many minds. Therefore perhaps we have variety and variety is the spice of life. And as spice is there life becomes tasty and only a tasty life is worth living.

Now coming to my point on avatar. An avatar is a sign to represent a person, a sort of masque. Some people put something else there to stand for them and some put the real picture of the real person or the user in such sites.

The nagging part is why most people are not interested or keen or prepared or in a position or just do not like to put the real picture there. I feel one should give. This is not without reason. Suppose one with the name of Waltor is my friend here @ mylot but he has put up a flower to represent him, now if by chance I happen to be flying to the country where he is living and again by chance he is sitting on the seat next to mine and have started a discourse. If I had seen his photo earlier I would be curious and would ask if he was Waltor and if said yes, just think how it would feel?

So why not putting real picture?

Its good idea but for me I dont feel my photos interesting and also I am not so photogenic so I dont want to add my photo. In future If I find any of my picture is good sure I will put it as my avtar. happy myloting.


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Ok, hope you have a nice photo soon. Do one thing. Take a lot of photo either with your mobile camera or a digital one and out of so many one or two would ne nice any way.What if one day I land at B'lore and ask for your address?


myLot reputation of 96/100. chaitra001 (836)   ranked 798 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Sure We will see in banglore once you come I can identify you I have seen your photo on your avatar lol.

I am a very private person. I don't put my pic on the internet or anywhere. I've always been like that...it's how I am. I don't like cameras, stages or attention...I shrink terribly. My aviator does represent me, however. I was out walking when I picked up that butterfly and flower. I also wrote a poem .If we were sitting next to each other on a flight and struck up a conversation and it led to a friendship that meant anything then I am pretty sure that in due time the fact that we knew each other from mylot would come out and it would be cool. As many as there are on here that I would not mind running into in person....there are as many that I don't want to know on sight.


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Hi Sid, I respect your point of view. This is in fact this way or that way. Even if no original pic and we are stinting together next to next in a flight it would finally lead to mylot if we at all we break into speeches. Nice way to defend.

Thanks for participation.

Hello There,
I actually did try to put up a picture of myself on my profile page and there was no way in hell that it would load. I do like to see who I am talking to, it is nice to put a face to a name. So, what I wound up doing is sending a picture through my email address to those people that I have become very good friends with. The only other thing I could think of for my avatar was a picture of my baby boy!
Nice to see you again!
Tracy

Its easy to do just go to the top of the page and click on PREFERENCE, it opens and follow instuction.

or just look at the comment under your post here.

myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Yeah, I understand your problem. You believe I was sort of struggling the first couple of days as to how to put my own i pic at the avatar place and suddenly got the idea and now I am there. And please send me your pic then through mail. you have my id I suppose.

If not it is : krajibg@gmail.com


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  3 years ago

Thanks, but I know how to do all of that, it just would not load the picture of me..I have tons of pics of my dog...maybe he's better looking?


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

It surely would. There would appear delete the current avatar? you need not do any thing but simply browse it from your computer and submit. It would automatically get uploaded.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mibngold (1524)  3 years ago

Nope, I tried it about 5 times, it would not take that specific picture. You'll notice that I change Butchies picture quite often, so I do know how to do it! I did send you the picture via email though!

I don't know how to change my avatar. I know that must seem stupid.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

At the top of the page you will find PREFERENCE, click and open.

In there you will be able to upload your new AVATAR.

Delete, current avatar, wait till clear

then

Use Brouse, to select picture you want from your FILES.

select and upload.

It is all there step by step to do.

cheers,

I feel thats fair comment and a fair Discussion posted by you.

Many are aware who HICCUP , as I have always had my avatar up.

Even when I took on another nic I had the same photo up and was challange by many why as that picture was HICCUP.

But once explained all was OK.

Now alls been sorted out HICCUP is HICCUP as in the AVATAR.

cheers all,

myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Yes, this is an advantage when you have your picture there and we are at the interaction for a long time and if one dauy make it to Australia it would be easier to locate you if you are standing at the airport. What say?

Thanks foe helping people.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

I am hoping for a get to-gether of Melbourne MYLOT FRIENDS.

But this may take some time as not all use mylot every day.

Some have said they would like that so I hope we have enough to have a day together.

maybe near Christmas as we are strting to go into our winter soon so longer to plan would be far better for all.

HICCUP/


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Thats not a bad idea! WE could pick up a place where all could meet. Say Melbourne is known to all and if it is made a venue for meeting at least people from the Indian subcontinent would be able to take part for all it wont be possible. We have to divide into different zones.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

Maybe you could have one in India, you are near Guwahati, is this a big place or are you near a big town or City were mylot friends could meet and have a day together.

Plan well ahead my Friend who knows who is near you.

Also you may be able to gain people as references and have them join mylot all could work very well for you.

If and when we get together, Ill take photos and post them so others can see us.

myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Not near my home is a t Guwahati and this is a big city. But Guwahati would not do. The best place would be New Delhi for this is almost in the centre of the country and there is no problem so far communication is concerned.

well, you might be right, but there are ppls who feels that by putting their picture they might be reveling themself.

like i put an avatar of AUM which is a symbol from which the whole world the universe is originated & incidentally its my sons first name also !!!

so, isn't it great bro, having avatar like this & moreover putting up a picture of your own is a personal choice a7 who knows a picture in any avatar is the real being itself or not.

whatsey......


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

People have their choice, we can only put up the issue. As you are comfortable with the one you are having none is the business to change nut only can say it would be better if all had.

And that if the pic is original or fake would depend how much the person is committed to him/herself.

I can appreciate your point but a lot of people don't want to be recognized outside MyLot for different reasons.
There are some who may have revealed secrets about themselves they may not want to be associated with in the "real" world, others may just be shy and very uncomfortable with their photo being on the Internet.
For me I have my photo as my avatar on several sites and I thought I would try something different for MyLot and I liked the picture I chose so there you go. My Associated Content Page has my photo and so has Helium and of course Facebook and my blog, so believe it or not, I'm out there!
It's personal preference I think and I don't think it's as important as what we've got to say. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

You are right on your stand. Many people do not like their picture went to the NEt and the like but I feel putting a real one is not potentially harmful. I have been active in some 4 different sire and everywhere have uploaded my actual pic.

Thanks Paula, for elaborating.

myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4931)   ranked 848 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Hi! I am not refereeing to that part but simply wanted to know as to what is wrong in putting the real picture. There are many who are with the original one but still there some who are not. Might be their personal problems.

Thanks for responding.
