MidTMike Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 On the right hand side of the board, you will see a group of people that are today's top posters. Some have photos there. Those photos are the ones uploaded by the users as Photos. It is NOT their aviator. Both can be uploaded in the same area. But, one is your profile photo and one is your aviator. You can have the same image for both or you can change them. To change them, click on your name at the top and go to My Settings and My Profile and Edit Profile. You can change either one of these or both at any time as often as you like. Sorry if there was any confusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaimo Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 It is NOT their aviator. Sorry if there was any confusion! Uhhhhh, Michael, the last time I checked an aviator was a person who flies aircraft. I think you mean avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoker Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 When do I get to own an aviator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannaGo Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 When do I get to own an aviator? I live between two Air Force bases. For the right price, I might be able to kidnap and smuggle you out your own private aviator...mirrored shades will cost extra. Oh, and this is just a joke, you Homeland Security guys who use the Google and lurk on the Internets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finebyme Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yes, I think it is called an avatar. In the language of photography enthusiasts at yahoo flickr, avatar is used frequently and cannot remember aviator popping out ever. From what I've heard, a photo, which you upload for your profiles must be a real photo. While an avatar is a graphic image, a logo that can also be used for one's profile.

finebyme Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 In the language of photography enthusiasts at yahoo flickr, avatar is used quite a lot of times when they refer to self portrait and cannot remember aviator ever popping out. From what I have heard, a photo, which you download for your profile must be a real photo. On the other hand, an avatar is a graphic image or a logo that one may also use for his profile. Which would you rather have for your profile, a real picture or a logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
