Nah, not usually. I always look at names (not on the sets), and sometimesI look at the name on the set (if it's there). So no, not really.

I still associate Alex with pink flower :P

I think I post too much. Because my sig is everywhere, haha.

Also, similar sets (such as the 12 days) confuse the hell out of me x.x

Sadly it is done each year here at PPT around Christmas so it looks like you will get confused every year around here unfortunely.

The only times I have been confused are when the CCC and ASP not only switched sets but names as well on the old database and when users became faceless clones (Such as Mod Clones and Admin Clone fad on the old database as well as the mulitiple people with Cheese's different usernames on there too.)

Not really, no.

Although I like to confuse/scare other people with my sets. Especially the Halloween one I did last year with Anubis (livvy!) and Jade. There was a time when we posted in order (of scariness XD mine being the last...with the dolly) and successfully scared some people.

Sometimes. But if I see a set I don't recognise, I'll look at the name and go "oh! That's so-and-so". It's more confusing when someone uses someone else's "distinctive" character (Eg. Lady Night's Jhudora), or when people swap.

That said, I keep getting confused when I see my set, because I haven't changed in so long :D

It's not as bad as when people change their username's though. I've "lost" people permanently through that, I think.

It confuses me sometimes, but most of the time I'm fine. :)

I don't really pay much attention to sets unless they're very eye-catching or they're pointed out to me. For the most part, I can identify regular posters by their posting styles. If I don't recognize someone, I check the name.

So, no confusion here. :)

No, I get used to it fairly quickly. The first time I might go "who is that?" while quickly checking out the name in the sig or something, but after that, I'm fine. Users switching sets or all having the same set do get really confusing, though. >_<

As others have said, I just look at the name and it clicks into place. But it can get annoying when people constantly change sets. However, if there is one key element in their set that remains the same (I.E Lady Night's Jhudora, Kidwaiy's Gwen Stefani, etc...) I recognize them pretty easily.

I get mixed up sometimes. I almost never check names unless Im planning on replying to someone.

I think Ive changed my set 3 times since I joined. Each time, I was so confused after I posted and saw my words with unfamiliar pictures :P

I have changed teh Set! (Slightly) Be confusored! (Slightly)

Tue Dec 26, 2006 10:33 pm

Yeah, I can get confused sometimes, but usually only if that person has had the same set for a really long time. Sometimes I get confused if I change my own set, and I'll look at one of my posts and think someone else wrote it. :lol:

At times I do get confused if the person is like always changes their set like every two week or something. That's why I change my sets every two months and yea I always have a Gwen Stefani set so you will know it's me. :P

No, I don't memorise/recognise people via their sets. If I look at the sets at all it's to admire them/the colours or to read the name. I do sometimes notice similarities between sets though so I pick up when a particular person has changed their set without totally registering the fact.

Wed Dec 27, 2006 4:09 pm

I do look at the set first, but if it's unfamiliar I check the name. So no, not really confused, just takes a second longer to see who it is.
