Just a simple Question. Why do you think changing anything here at Seti will hide your presense? To me it seems a useless endevour. Forgive my Genglish Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Now I have to ask, why would anyone want to hide? (unless of course they're up to no good) Cheers. |

I had used my Ferrari logo as my avatar for many years. When I switched to my current car, an Audi, I kept losing my posts. Seems that going from a read background to a back one him me pretty well. Now I use white and can never find myslef. |

Pleading ignorance, Uli -- what is being "hidden", if anything? |

I believe that my question is a legitimate one. I have absolutely no idea what your complaint is, and apparently I am not alone in my confusion. I fail to see the point in starting a thread for public discussion if people do not know the details that have upset you. If the matter is a personal complaint that you have with a specific poster, wouldn't that be best handled through the pm system? |

Like Carlos is saying, some folks, self included, key to an avi and/or color for recognition trigger. When folks change their avi I don't always catch it till I go looking for them by name. ;^) ... |

I used to change my avitar every change of season. But Im lazy and got sick of doing it. I do look at the avatar and think Hey so and so posted I will read it. now it does fake me out when a person changes a avatar. but its no big deal I just look at the name. How ever when a person changes the user name and avatar pic I have no freaking idea who it is. Yes I can eventually guess who it is 99% of the time. I can say that has happend in my own Raccoon team though also. If you dont want to appear as doing something below board, Give us a heads up that you are going to change your user name and avatar. Juts my 2 cents worth, and you can all tell me to shove off if you want. [/quote] Old James |

Well since the multiple personality scandal here a while back, you all get to look at my ugly mug now (and yes, I do answer to Wiggo out in public, more than the name that my parents gave me). :-D Cheers. |

Soooo, this is about name and/or avatar changes? I understand Uli completely, really frustrating if people hide their real identity. I know it's the internet but we all know and kinda trust one another over here, or at least this should be the case. I for one, immediately recognize someone's posting style, hence I know who the person is. Uli, if you have doubts about anyone, ask me, I'll know who it is. rOZZ Music Pictures |
