Why do you or don't you have pictures of yourself in your avatar ?

I am not very computer savy, and don't know how to put them up.

I don't have or take any still photos, only videos. If I did have any, I probably wouldn't know how to display them.

I couldn't see any reason not to

ours is of us on the bridge wing of the former QE2, so it brings back happy memories too.

I don't because I am wary of the lunatic fringe who may well approach me with less than benevolent intent on a ship.

I change my avatar very often .

I had a cartoon Avitar until recently, then decided to update it to one of my husband and me.

I wanted to check out CM before putting my photo up. I hope to put up lots of photos after our cruise in September!!

I have about three dozen avatars and change between them frequently.

So, my question is, who has noticed???

I prefer to use the picture of a much more handsome man as my avatar.

Of course I recognized the photo you use as that of Pierre Trudeau .

I thought it was John Cleese

From tonight onward I will only use avatars related to boats and cruising .

As does Manuel, I don't know how to post one and if I did, I'd probably frighten everyone off the boards!

Strange - I think the opposite - I can't see any reason to - who would want to look at a picture of me? I don't and I wouldn't be able to escape it when i was reading a forum.

I love the anonymity.

I have noticed but don't comment but like Miss Marple, I am quite a noticeable person.

I get bored easily so sometimes I go with funny avatar. Like my lady with the squash. Other times it's a picture of my from my helmet dive. Or the one with me and my hubby standing in front of the Splendor. I'm not sure what is up now. I'll have to look after this posts.

I have no issue with showing a pic of myself. I just tend to like pictures of my cat or dogs. etc.

Okay it's the squash lady in my avatar. But me and my hubby are in the signature line. I liked the squash lady because that is a huge squash and she seems so proud of her large squash.
