AI Thread Summary
Connecting a Google Account with PF allows for quick registration and login, but raises concerns about whether the Google profile picture will replace existing avatars. Users believe that if an avatar is already set, it will not be changed by the Google profile picture. The discussion also touches on the humorous misunderstanding of the term "avatar," with one participant joking about biological interpretations. Additionally, a user inquires about the background image behind the avatar, later discovering it is referred to as the "Cover." Overall, the integration aims to streamline user experience while maintaining personal customization.

I don't have a problem with sharing the first three, but sharing the profile picture brings up one question: Is my current avatar going to be replaced by the profile picture from Google?

Hmm I don’t think so if you already have one. The only real benefit is quick register and login.

And here's me thinking you have a biological kind of avatar -- nostrils of some sea life or so...

By the way: how do you get the chilly picture behind the avatar (which I at first saw as 'ocean' )

[edit] found it. It's called 'Cover' (but lives in the background 😄 )
