Get a new look – update your user image!
Happy December to all you hungry readers! The new month brings lots of updates at Menuism (plus the huge backlog of blog posts about them), and one of the most exciting is the ability to upload your own profile image.
How do you do it? Just go to your user homepage and look for “Change Pic” under your current picture.
What about using Gravatar, you might ask? We were initially excited about using their simple service for user avatars, but technical issues on their side have closed off the service to new users. With all the great new users joining the site, we didn’t want everyone to wait any longer, so we chose to implement our own system. Maybe one day we’ll reconsider Gravatar, but our priority is to ensure a good experience for you, our loyal users.
We just added the image feature very recently and we’ve already seen great adoption by lots of users. It just takes a minute – if you haven’t uploaded an image yet, there’s no better time than now.
