From wiki
In computing (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Computing), an avatar is the graphical representation (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Graphical_representation) of the user (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/User_(computing)) or the user's alter ego (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Alter_ego) or character (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Player_character). It may take either a three-dimensional (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/3D_computer_graphics) form[1] (http://www.donzi.net/forums/#cite_note-0), as in games (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Video_game) or virtual worlds, or a two-dimensional form as an icon (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Computer_icon) in Internet forums (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Internet_forum) and other online communities.[2] (http://www.donzi.net/forums/#cite_note-1)[3] (http://www.donzi.net/forums/#cite_note-2) It can also refer to a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/MUD).[4] (http://www.donzi.net/forums/#cite_note-3) It is an object representing the user. The term "avatar" can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name (http://www.donzi.net/wiki/Screen_name_(computing)), or handle, of an Internet user

Avatar was the word I was looking for
Profile/avatar box is what I am calling it .
And I sent my son to his room for the night..Real punishment as he only has a flat screen, PS3, Xbox360, computer, cell phone.. I guess I showed him ...Ed
