Signatures change more often than usernames, so I establish people by just that. There are only a few people who maintain the same name and have really distinctive signatures that I've seen, they're mostly newcomers and the people of the "I have never and will never change my username" club.

I usually know what kind of person would have what kind of signature, so I usually identify by looking at their signature. Especially in the RTSOTPA thread.

I remember people by their name AND signature. Depends on the person though, some people I tend to recognize by their preferred signature style and layout. Others I rely solely upon their username to identify them. It really depends on how much they change their signature and username, if I dont keep in regular contact with the dual changers (the ones who change their name and signature at the drop of a hat, or every tickling of their fancy), I might end up forgetting who they are. XD

Mostly by Usernames, though it doesn't exactly work out too well, in some cases... particularly when I returned after a long absence, recently... XD;; In which, I sometimes move onto seeing if I can guess who the person is with their signature, before I cave and finally check what previous Usernames they had... XD

Username. Some people change their signatures daily, but at least with names you know they're gonna stay for three or four months.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

A combination of Name, Signature, and Avatar. When in threads I mainly look at the Avatar.

Well both. I'll remember different people in different ways, that's just how it is with me.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

Some members change their usernames often, so sometimes it's confusing.

I tend to recognize sigs more, or at least posting styles. Maybe their profiles too.. -stalker-

I tend to recognize avatars and banners before names. I think. At least, when I think of people in my head, I'll think of a picture before a name.

Most people keep their themes long enough, and if they change them, well, it doesn't take long for me to notice who it is.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

If the person has a unique name like...Careful With That Axe, Pichu!, I'll remember them. But if they've got some name like Slowpoke23, I probably will have no idea (nor care) as to who they are and I'm sure I'll remember them less likely.
