Avatars

dougw

I have started changing my avatar when doing a big project to something related to the current project. For example currently my avatar is a running man image of Mr. Pentium from my Upcycling IoT Design Challenge project.

It is a bit disappointing that the system cannot remember older avatars or allow a number of avatars to be uploaded into a pool to choose from..

Is avatar switching a good way to keep the forum more dynamic and more interesting? Or just a bad idea?

Is the project related avatar a nice touch or a total non-issue?

Or is it just confusing with no value add?

Is avatar recognition useful (so important not to change) or in some fashion a comfortable aspect of avatars? 

Do you find it painful to setup an Avatar or even undesirable?

  • I had noticed that your avatar had changed recently.  I suspected that it was some tie-in that would eventually make sense.  This was the case previously with the little baseball cap with the Superman logo on it.  It was mysterious at first but then it all made sense once your Super Cap projects were unveiled.

    In terms of whether it's good to change avatars or keep them the same, I think that decision is up to the individual.  The Super Cap thing was very cool by the way.  This was, in part, due to the nice little a-ha moment I had once its meaning was understood.

    I've been busy as of late and not keeping up with all the happenings at e14, but I should set some time aside to check out the entries for the Upcycling challenge.
