Actually, I do that on other board pretty frequently, but since I'm used to the old layout I never got in the habit here. The other way's more reliable though.

Then again, the avatars here are so big and fluffy its easy to get confused really easily. Its not like they're not noticable, unless you disable them, and they completely outdwarf the names in visual appealingness.
I don't even think of you as "Zortrium" anymore, I can tell its you by that panda.

Eh, my IM avatar is more distinctive.
But back on topic: I wanted to try that experiment on myself but I didn't have enough of the plasticy stuff. Think of any alternative materials I could use?

But I have a problem with dual booting without any extra hard drives =P
You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.

What's wrong with partitioning? It used to work when OS X first came out, dual booting with one hard drive into classic and X.

So in what zoo are you in or are you a wild panda that sneaks into peoples houses to use the internet?

This topic makes no sense, but hey whatever.
I agree, I don't go by names, I go by avatars. I do a double-take whenever someone changes avatar, or changes to one similar to another member.

Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer to go by name. At least for those whose names predate the avatars... a dying breed, nearly.

Well, fortunately, for those that go by avatars, most members don't change theirs very often.

Only if you associate people with their avatar. Back in the good old days that wasn't an issue, but sometimes people get lazy. Probably because a picture is worth a thousand words.

Yeah, some posts just scream "authority" whenever you see them.

You dissapeared for a bit then came back with a new avatar. I took me a few days to figure out you weren't a new person...
Wow, you read a post by Ankhwatcher you must be so proud.

It isn't confusion, really. The train of thought is as follows: register avatar, mentally link to poster, read post think hey...... this doesn't sound like them, check name, realize person changed avatar, re-register avatar with that person And if multiple people have the same avatar....... well then I got by sig length and structure.
