ExiledInIllinois Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Name. But I occasionally relate to the avatar. Always back check the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Honestly both but I see the avatar first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly McButterpants Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Honestly both but I see the avatar first Same here... I've been confuzzled in the past when posters have changed avatars or when a newer member uses the same one as a more "established" poster.

BuffaloBill Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 It does throw me when a regular changes an avatar. I also hate the generic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Definitely avatar. One of you smart people should make a "name that poster" quiz where you'd have to identify the poster by their avatar. I'd play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Name, unless quickly scrolling down a page looking for a specific post. I still remain amazed that as a relative latecomer to this board that my name had not been taken previously. It puts the lotion in the basket...
