Except for me

NO!!! I don't have admin privileges.
I noticed it, and disliked it for myself, so I worked around it

Maybe mods will get something different soon.
It is confusing though.

So how do I get around it?
Honestly, it's not my list, the list owners can do what they want, but I'm not exactly enamored of this. Not to mention it's potentially confusing.

PinkFridge, use this avatar, please! I almost didn't recognize you here!
Hashem Yaazor, how about this?

[quote="TranquilityAndPeace"]PinkFridge, use this avatar, please! I almost didn't recognize you here!
I appreciate the thought but the fridge alone, not in context...I'm not so sure.
I'm still tempted to try to do Tacky the Penguin, but that really won't make sense.
And I first noticed this on another thread and almost PMed Gryp to congratulate her on getting an avatar but that I always thought she looked more.... I mean less....um, something or other.

I agree that it's disorienting. My eyes are immediately drawn to the graphic so I have to actually LOOK to see the name if I want to know who's "talking." Before I used to just automatically notice, if not the name, then at least the first letter or so, and thus keep track of the conversation in a way that flows.
On the upside, it gave me the push I've been needing to create an avatar for myself. It's nothing special but it was the quickest I could think of to get rid of the faceless lady.
It appears that HY simply took a screenshot, cropped to the word "moderator," and is now using that as an avatar that's nearly invisible. Crafty!

That's not what I did. But you're on the right track 
I don't want an avatar. I think it detracts from the content of my posts.

It makes readers form a preconceived notion of what I have to say.
If I choose T&P's Torah, they would think all my posts are in the lens of a yeshivish stance or whatever else. If it was something fun, it's harder to take seriously. Something ditzy -- I'm brainless. I just want each post to stand on its own merit with no preconceived notions formed by the picture next to it.

I don't think that's how most of the posters view the avatars at all. Most of us have our ideas of posters already from the content that they've posted, and the pictures are visual cues that aid in the flow of dialogue.

That being said, try to do this Tacky the Penguin. You may have to explain it once and refer to your explanation, but I don't think most people will get too stuck on it.
I think each poster takes her avatar more seriously than the the other posters do.

I have already acquired a new understanding of you to replace the old image I had of you from your avatar, but only after reading tens of your posts.

Interesting that you think that way. I wonder how common it is here. It does explain your reluctance to put up an avatar, though.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN AVATAR FROM THE GALLERY:
There is an entire gallery of avatar images provided.
- Underneath the Imamother logo on the top right is the "Home" tab.
- Under that tab is a little link that says "Edit Profile".
- Click "Edit Profile".
- You will be taken to a page with all the details for your account. Scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.
- Just above the "Submit" button is the option to "select avatar from gallery". Click the "show gallery" button.
- You will be taken to the avatar gallery. There is a drop down list of various categories, and each category has a nice number of avatars.
- Select an avatar by clicking it, then clicking the "select avatar" button. As a chessed to the rest of us, don't take the same one as another poster if you can help it.
- After clicking the "select avatar" button, you will be taken BACK to the Profile page. You should see the avatar you selected appearing on that page.
- Click the "Submit" button to update your profile.
To create your own avatar (maximum height and width 80x80 pixels, maximum file size 6kb), let me know if you want instructions.
