Should I Change My Avatar?

I've been a member of myLot for about 2 1/2 years. Have never changed my avatar but am thinking about it. The killer cat is so cute but am getting tired of looking at it. Would I lose my identity if I changed it? I think some members automatically look for the bright red kitty.

If you're tired of it...even though it is a very pretty avatar...change it. I've been here for about 10 months and have changed my avatar several times. Folks still know who I am. Personally, I look at the names before I look at the avatars.

I do look at the name but then the avatar, if it's an eye catcher, will grab me. Thanks so much for responding.

I like it, but change is good. What are you thinking about changing it to? I mostly look for Carolbee on my webmail alert page. So whatever comes up when I press respond is cool with me as long as there isn't any smut. And you're not the smut type, so whatever you come up with will be fine.

Some people might argue the smut part..lol Just not sure what to do so for now will hang in there and leave it alone. Would like something funny or very different. Thanks for responding.

Your avatar is so cute but I say go ahead and change it if you want to. People will get used to a different one. I know of others who have changed theirs and it was weird at first but got used to it pretty quick.

Am still thinking about it. Was going to put a photo of our cat who is now gone but don't want to look at it each time I sign onto myLot. Little too much for me. You are right no place to hide. Thanks for responding.

Carol, By all means change it. That poor cat is tired. Yes it's cute but a change always perks things up. I love to change things around. I'm going to change mine too, because it's hard to see my little Dexter curled up in that big stuffed dog. can't wait to see what you come up with.xoxoxo leenie50

I like to change mine every few months to go along with the holiday or season. Your's is cute but if you want to change, you should go ahead and do it. I don't think it would matter with your identity.

You are right. Maybe I won't have an identity crisis happen if I rid myself of the current avatar. Need time to think about it. Thanks for responding.

I don't look for a familiar avatar when searching for a friend's post. I look by name and then notice the avatar afterwards. Go ahead and change it if you so desire.

I think that first of all, if you are getting tired of it then you should change it. Secondly, I do think that some members might not be able to find you because of the change of avatar, but if you try to find something with the color red near the bottom of the screen you shouldn't have much difficulty. Also, People have changed their avatars and then have been told they are invisible without their trademark!

If you tell all your friends that you have a new avatar, they will look for your new one. I'm used to looking at you killer cat, but could learn to associate you with a new avatar.

Hey carol! I think that you may be right! But, it's up to you! If you are in the mood for a change then by all means do it! I love the avatar that you have now, but if you want to change it we will just have to get used to you having a new one! Look at how many people change theirs all the time! So if you do feel the need to change it I will look for you anyway!
