Has Anyone Had To change Their Avatar?

I changed my Avatar (is that what you call it?) because someone else on this forum has the same Avatar. I don't want to put words in their mouth, and I don't want them to put words in my mouth. Has anyone else ever had this come up?

yes if you use a generic picture of an avatar, or a celebrity..or cartoon.. the chances are someone will have the same. if you mean someone had a picture of YOU personally as their avatar, then that's concerning....

Most of us on the forum change our avatars on a fairly regular basis.... Nice to see you personally in your pic tho' TeePee..(y)

Actually, I probably stated it wrong. Someone had my name that goes with the Avatar. Some else had TeePee as a name.
 

(Avatar is the picture and Name or ID is the name.)

I've never seen where someone had to change their ID because someone else was using it. I could be wrong, but, when people create an account, I think they get a message if they choose an ID that's already in use, and they have to think up a new one, or spell it differently, or add a character or space or whatever.

Is that what happened?

I'm not sure what happened, but someone responded to post that a "TeePee" posted and it showed up on my feed. It was something I had not posted. Just to be safe, I just changed the Avatar (if that's what you call it.). I wanted to make sure I didn't put words in someone else's mouth or they didn't put words in mine. Maybe it was a computer glitch, who knows.
 
@TeePee This is so strange that I had to tell you, after I verified it with my son. You look just like my late mother, when she was much younger!

My son was flabbergasted. He said wow, she looks like Grandma, down to the scarf she is wearing!

Ahhh....that's a complement. Mother's are special. I know mine was.
 
Not sure what happened there... but you are definitely the only "TeePee" here. As for the avatar, when someone joins and doesn't upload their own desired avatar, they're given one with a letter in it... usually first letter of their member name. Yours would have probably been a "T"... is that what you mean? Because if so, yes, if someone named Terrestrial joins and doesn't upload an avatar, they'd get a "T" as well. You seem to be good now... any other issues with that? And welcome to the forum! (y)
