When people change their sets...

Do you get confused?
I do sometimes. I don't usually look at usernames, since it's not really standing out. Especially when the set is similar to someone else's. I'll take quite a while to get used to it. :\
(So don't change your sets! XD Just kidding.)

Sometimes, I do. Most times I don't even notice though!

Haha, yes. I recognise people by their sets a lot of the time, and I get so confused when people change them.

Even more so around Christmas - everyone changes them, and we just had the Secret Santa which made it worse.

..I even confuse myself when I change my set - mine went from a pink flower and my name (Thanks rage!) to a dark, wintery blue set which I love. So I'll scroll past my posts, and confuse myself by not recognising my own post without reading it again.

Not really. There was one time where I got confused by my own set, because it was when I first changed from a dragon-themed set to something else.

Also, when people have sets that are exactly the same it confuses me.

Not really. I usually look at names as well as sets, but that could be because I tend to change my sets a lot myself.

No as I always look at names first before looking at their sets.

Some people it doesn't confuse me at all, especially if they change it a lot or it's someone who I don't really know/ don't know their set. If it's someone who I recognise by their set I can get really confused though, or if it's a lot different than it was before(I get mixed up by yours too alex :P).

It was really confusing back when some people were using other people's sets. And on the april fool's when eveyone's got switched around.

I usually just read posts, and don't really look at sets too much. However, my subconscious will get confused sometimes.

My mind will be like 'Hmm, they've changed from X in Z' - As in they literally are now a large flower instead of a pop artist :P

I do associate a person's set with their name rather than checking their name at all, but I associate the person's posts with their name and not their set. So if I see an unfamiliar set, I'll check the name, and then pink flower=Alex becomes violet eye=Alex or whatever.
