Heaven forbid, a handful of people here find one anonymous poster's recommendation logical and practical, then follow along with the recommendation on an anonymous website dedicated and named after one person who's investing recommendations are logical and practical.

I thought the point of the forum was to share financial news and assistance. I didn't realize it was an "express yourself" party. We doing face-painting next?ogd wrote:It's sort of ironic when you consider that an avatar is a chance to express yourself.

That's Ash, from one of the greatest movies of all-time, Evil Dead 2. (Just ask Jack Back's character in High Fidelity.)grap0013 wrote:I feel like a girl with a new dress sporting this avatar!!

Sadly, I have found no method yet to find just the right size or resize an existing pic when you are on a mobile. I am 99% of the time reading this forum from my mobile and Google's size doesn't let you search by size when you are on a mobile.LadyGeek wrote:It's the next one to the right of More, click on Search Tools which brings up a set of menus directly below.

I just tested using this online service on my iPhone in Safari and it worked fine.

Thank you Ice!! That site worked perfectly. Though my first image didn't look good cropped, I had a backup ready. Looks like a great way to start a morning!Ice-9 wrote:I just tested using this online service on my iPhone in Safari and it worked fine.

I hate forums that do that (yeah, I'm looking at YOU, Fatwallet!).Spades wrote:I don't know... a standard start avatar will make it more confusing to figure out who is posting to me because a lot of people will have the same avatar.
I found the screen name of Default User BR memorable. But please don't tell him, or he will escalate his objections to avatars.SnapShots wrote:Cheese_Breath the avatar is cute. But, the online screen name is most memorable. I almost can smell it. How'd you ever come up with that?
I've been thinking about changing my avatar. I get bored easily.

I think the sign-up didn't let me be just "Default User". But it was a long time ago and I don't recall for certain.linenfort wrote:Not Default User BR's, of course. If your name is "default user"
Usernames must not violate any of the forum policies, be profane, rude, or otherwise inappropriate, nor may you use a real person's name other than your own.

Tried using a couple re-sizing etcgrayfox wrote:Some Bogleheads do not have an avatar. I recommend that posters choose a unique avatar.
I was reading the long thread about "if dividends are different" and several of the posters did not have avatars. I had trouble keeping track of which poster had which position and made which point.
I find it easier to sort out what each forum participant has said when I can put a "face" on the poster. Maybe I just remember pictures better. In my view, there are the individual poster with avatars, and then there is a mass of anonymous posters without avatars who I don't remember who they are and are just part of the "peanut gallery".
If you want to be remembered as an individual, and not as a random poster in the crowd, I recommend choosing an avatar.
