Ever notice a comment and think: "wtf is jones talking about...? the stress must be getting to him."

Only to then notoce that it's not jones at all, but is instead cgode? Oh my gawd, becky.

Or worse, try to follow a conversation between Bigdeal and TXJim. Who's on First, indeed.

Dudes (and dudettes), take this down time and get or make yourself a unique avatar.

Doesn't that sound better?

I agree it helps.
There were many more unique avatars before that one photo hosting site stopped being free (or whatever the issue was), and many people never tried to find an alternative.

I recently started using imgur after using it for other pictures for a while. It’s free and very simple to use.

Signed up with post images but the forum software won’t do it for some reason.

I don't believe it's the forum. If I understand correctly, Post Image won't allow Avatars.

Anyway, I use Imgur.

Well, no one else has one like mine! (I created it myself many years ago using a free animated gif editor. It's being hosted by a fellow SF member.)

I've considered dumping mine a few times, but kept it simply for the uniqueitude. Don't really know if others recognize me from it, but I certainly identify some members by their'n.

I'm guilty as well. It's mainly laziness because I haven't tried very hard to change it. Who is the member that will do it for us?

Since my eyes have gotten bad and I use my phone mostly I don’t even see who is posting. I read entire threads zoomed in without seeing who wrote the posts.

My glasses aren't thick, but small text is now so fuzzy without them that I feel like Mr fucking Magoo.

Was great until about 42. Straight bullshit since then.
