I’ve updated the User Profiles. You can now specify some additional user information, such as a website, your location and a brief description about yourself. All this information is optional.
The new User Profile page displays all a user’s posted Trademarks, FUDs and some of their most recent comments. This will make tracking trolls much easier and more fun.
Some of you may have also noticed that beside each Trademark, FUD and user there now sits an avatar icon. For many of you, it contains a random kaleidoscopic image. This is being generated by Gravatar.
What is a Gravatar?
A Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar. It can follow you around from site to site and be used to identify you wherever you go. It does this by associating your email with an image you upload, or an identicon that it generates.
How do I Change my Gravatar?
- Sign in
- Click My Profile in the upper right corner
- In your profile click Register a Gravatar, the email address you used to register with the TM Repository will have already been filled out in the Gravatar sign up form
- Follow the Gravatar email registration steps
- Upload and crop an image, it should update on the TM Repository immediately
Alternatively, you can skip directly to the form, sans automatic email fill-out, by clicking here.
