I haven't changed profile picture before here yet. I wonder how often mylotters change profile picture and whether if I change mine, people will still know me... ok, other than a few I already remember their names by heart, I got to admit that sometimes i recognize mylotters by profile pictures Do you think that profile picture will affect whether people remember you in mylot? Or would you remember me by my user name?

I had the same username for six years just changed it a few days ago because I couldn't find it again so I can match other sites. I remember based off profile picture sometimes a hint of the username too!

@XinfulThotz Most, yes! But the newer ones I changed it. But use the same profile picture so people know! Except my personal Instagram or Facebook accounts I use different photos and change them.

This was the first question Adam ever asked... quite old, I see. I rarely change my profile picture, unless I have to make a statement to certain members here. I would definitely remember you by your username (by that I mean the handle, the @ name; that's what you sign in with and so your username). Have started to ignore pictures since my dear ones left or changed their long-associated pictures.

@XinfulThotz myLot used to have policies about duplicate discussions... but you asking this question is quite understandable! Doesn't matter.

@hora_fugit thank you for your kind understanding. I haven't seen this discussion before. that's why. I don't like to duplicate discussions too.

Most of the time I pay attention to the profile photo rather than the username. As some names are too complicated for me to remember. It is hard for me to remember it since I don't know the meaning. And this is why I hardly change my avatar since I am afraid my friends will not recognize me here

I always remember myLotter by their usernames because i know they can always change their profile pictures and profile names .

when the mylotter is new to me.....the profile picture helps with recognition....but once i have properly interacted with the person...i can know them by just the user name. I haven't changed mine since i joined two months ago....i don't change my display pic often anywhere...so it might still be a few months till i change it.

true.. cos as you interact and always tag people, you will somehow remember the @ by heart.

I go by both. I recognize most people once I have interacted with them for a bit. =)
