   I can't help but think it isn't quite a coinscedence(sp) that my hub score dropped four points since changing my avatar to a real picture of me.  I know it goes off averages, too and I did add a new hub but that was yesterday and the score dropped three days ago and hasn't come up.  Are people really that superficial?

      Looking at you knew avatar, I'm pretty sure that you score went up 97 points and you are really t 193, but Hubpages isn't able to track 3 digit scores.

         You are too kind. {blushing} Normally I don't fret the score going up and down, it does that frequently but it hasn't been this low in some time and it certainly hasn't stayed low for more than a day, maybe two. I guess I'll just have to adjust or figure something out! LOL

   come off it Chaotic, your new pic is great, and has no relationship to your hub score altering. When ever i publish a new hub my score drops by 1/2or 3 points then after a few days works its way back- so stop getting paranoid we all love you.

   Looking at your real picture, I can't begin to imagine why it should have any negative effect ...
   
   Besides, I used to have a horrible, passport-like photo of myself on my profile, and changing it made absolutely no difference to score etc..
   
   I think the drop has to do with something else, but I wouldn't worry about it.

   I did a bunch of experimenting with avatar pics - I found that around Christmas I really got attention with a chesty gal in a santa costume - no face mainly focussed on her breasts!  But then I got so I felt kinda funny about that kind of thing and so I finally put the kitten on and I like it and now I know if my score goes down or up it ain't cuz of the pic.  But what I don't know is how to get my score to stay at 100!  I made it there twice in the past week but it only stays for about 1/2 a day and then it dives again.  I am working hard. 
   
   I'm sure your avatar pic didn't make your score dive - I don't think that is included in the calculations for hubber score - your avatar pic is really nice now.  Keep it that way!  Its nice to see what people look at.  I don't have mine on because I don't like to see my face everytime I post something   its kinda of scary  but yours isn't
