What's the first thing you notice about Julers' posts and such that gets you recognizing them?

As for me, I focus a lot on the post layouts. I get confused when they change sometimes, and I often confuse users whose layouts are similar, especially with some of the less active users. After that is probably usernames, then avatars and name colours are way down the list for me. I think I used the special blue to know that Onyx was Bloodstar

Post layouts. That's it - I don't even notice the usernames unless it's a layout I don't recognize or not a layout at all.

Paulguy's Post configuration
Layouts, but sometimes names, especially when browsing from my phone, because it doesn't show layouts on that.

A lot of the time, I go by avatars since I often have layouts turned off.

Usernames, since sometimes people swap layouts or do tricky stuff.

I think in general, I tend to recognize people first by their avatars. If someone changes their avatar, it will just take me a few moments to readjust to it. This is the reason why I don't like it when boards assign people an avatar (so that a lot of people will end up with the same ones), or have no avatars at all, or do "themes" where every user has a similar avatar (one time I was at a forum where everyone had a different colored square for an avatar). I'll either get confused as to who is who or may not even bother associating posts with the names at all.

Usernames, unless it's a new/changed one. I have post layouts turned off, and I don't visit often enough to recognize avatars (most likely). Which means it's mostly just an anonymous blob of people with a few names that I have seen before here and there.

I realize this may come off as arrogant, but that's just how it is. I used to visit this place (or community, but this was when it was called Acmlm's. It might not be the same community anymore, perhaps more like a.. newer incarnation with fragments of the old. ).. uh, to long parantheses.

Anyway, I used to visit this community more frequently in the past, and make a few posts here and there on a daily basis. Of course, I don't know if I ever contributed to anything worthwhile (probably not), but atleast I was there.

I also go by the layouts first. And if that fails, see avatar. Finally, if everything is screwed up, then I have to rely on the username.

I usually look at a member's avatar first. The problem is that some members change their avatars a lot more frequently than they change their layouts so it's not uncommon for a changed avatar to throw me off every once and a while. If avatar fails then I check a member's layout, and if I'm really lost then I'll just look at their username .

Layout, followed by avatar, followed by username. When people change everything at once, though, then I get confused and check their profile.

...To be honest, whichever I notice first.

I seriously never gave it much thought.

We seem to be talking about ourselves quite a bit lately, aren't we?

Anyway, I have layouts off, so I notice the avatar first, username color second, and the actual username last. (Custom titles vary depending on how visually striking they are; for example, mine falls at the bottom of the list while Anya's pixel art used to be at the top until she moved it to her avatar.)

Now, the interesting part is that it takes just a few glances to get used to a new avatar, several days to get used to a new username color, and an incredibly long time to get used to a new username. (How long is that? Well, I'm just starting to accept Onyx as, well, Onyx instead of Bloodstar, but I have no idea how long ago that change was made.)
This is reflected in myself, as I frequently change my avatar, I only voluntarily changed my username color once after initially setting it to male, and I've never ever changed my username.

When all else fails, though, a quick look at the user's past posts and maybe past threads usually does the trick.

Chi.
Sidebar first ([background], avatar, name, title), then post itself.

Looking at the layout is just a side-effect of reading the post.

Back when I turned off layouts, I usually would know people by usernames, avatars, custom titles, and other profile sidebar information. Sometimes even stuff like post counts.

I notice the post layout, definitely. The difference is, I recognize color more so than the images/patterns in them. Like Metal_Man's contrasting white and black background, it took me a few months to closely look at it and say, "Hey, that's actually a gray-scaled image of snow and trees."

If their layout is plain or nonexistent, I'll go for their avatar colors, and identify them with those.

In this order:
1- Post layout (unless disabled)
2- User picture
3- Username or color
4- Posts (like if someone changes everything and I can't tell who it is anymore )

From biggest to smallest on screen, pretty much
