We now support additional emails, and you can change your primary email address for login purposes. Just click on your name in the top navigation bar, then click Account Setting, then on the right navigation links click Email & Notifications. You'll see a link that says Add New Email--clicking this will reveal a field where you can add your new email address and a checkbox which says "Make this my primary email address." Select that checkbox if you want to login with this account.

Yes.
To edit your public profile, roll over your user name in the top bar and click on the "Your Dashboard" link. Here you can change your icon, tagline, location and web site.

Inappropriate?How about simple profile URLs? http://getsatisfaction.com/people/use... is a lot easier than http://getsatisfaction.com/people/123... to remember!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?These are coming! There were some good reasons why we have these intermediate user codes, but I can't remember what they are. Perhaps one of the more product-focused team members here will pipe in and explain.
I’m looking forward to simple profile URLs, too!
-
Inappropriate?The reason we don't have the friendly urls yet are both technical and design-oriented.
First, we prioritized other things on the design front, and an interface for changing your url was never created. The reason we wanted to give special consideration to this is because it has more ramifications than other user edits.
For example, bookmarks would break, and search indexes would point to non-existent documents. Working around that is the technical issue I alluded to in the first sentence of this post.
We want to make the process simple enough that everyone could discover and easily understand what they are doing when the edit their urls. Thats the design problem.
On the bright side, the capacity in our routing system and our data model is already in place.
I’m working on features, one at a time.

Inappropriate?friendly personalized URLs are definitely coming, along with a lot of changes to the dashboard area to monitor stuff you've participated in (and stuff you're interested in.) give us a couple weeks. :)

As a stop gap, if you email the new email you want to use to
scott < the at sign goes here! > getsatisfaction.com
I'll update the database.

Inappropriate?shadowfax: Is it possible that you signed up with a different e-mail address? Did you add that e-mail address to your account at some point? You can have multiple e-mail addresses on your account, but I want to check this first, and we'll go from there.
I’m hoping this helps

Inappropriate?I just created an account, and now I get a weird url along the lines of:
http://getsatisfaction.com/people/dru...
I can see no way to change this so that it just reads "drumgit". I think my browser autofilled some field during account creation and I didn't notice.
Am I stuck with this? Can it be changed? Do I need to delete the account and recreate?
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Sorry, I forgot to mention. the drumgit_gmail url will still be accessible for around a day, but after our caches expire it will no longer be available. I hope that is acceptable for you.
If that isn't acceptable, I can go rooting around in the plumbing to purge it now, but it is kind of a pain. I'm fine with either way, so I'll let you describe.2 Comments Add a comment

Have you tried clicking the Forgot Password link? If not, try that. You should get an email that will allow you to then go back in and re-set your password.

Inappropriate?Hi Amy~ I really want to fix this login problem I'm having. When I change my password I get an email link that I follow but when i enter a login and a password, Twitter won't recognize one or both of them. Any how, it seems like a common problem without an easy fix. Can you help? (twitter user name; chicken_no_head)
I’m gettin pretty bummed out

Inappropriate?For some reason, I don't get a confirmation email for a specific email account that I'd like to use. It's my primary email address, so I'm not sure why it's not working. I was able to use a GMail address and that one worked.
Ideas?

Hi Chris, Did you try adding the other email address on this page? http://getsatisfaction.com/people/chr... You can add a second email address there and then make it your primary email address for receiving notifications.

Inappropriate?If you send a message from the email account that wasn't working to scott@getsatisfaction.com, I'll look into why it didn't get sent out.

Hi ephonenumbers, Sorry for the delayed response. Once you're an admin of your company's community here on GS you can change those details. Have you accomplished this yet?

Inappropriate?The whole ideas excellent, I suspect though on going live peeps will like the idea of /domain.com/peepsname reminds me of the late, ungreat Compuserve, they did a similar thing:)

Inappropriate?I have been trying to add my blog, twitter and personal photo but I can't find the option to save the changes. What steps must I take to add these features to my profile. I have gone thru Dashboard and account settings. I am in the right place but after I enter all info. there is no option to save the changes. After I sign out and return all acct. info. has defaulted back to when I originally set the acct. up!
I’m frustrated b/c I can't save changes.

Inappropriate?How can I delete my old account if I signed up with a new one under a different email address?
Situation:
- I signed up to create a company - Twinstang - under [private data removed]
- I forgot that I had already signed up as a normal user as [private data removed]
- I now have my profile at etc/scottmotte and etc/scott_motte
- I've deleted the etc/scottmotte one so that I can change the current etc/scott_motte to scottmotte, but the delete is not a total delete. I'm guessing you guys keep the user around in the database and just mark the user as deleted.
Is there any way you can completely delete my former scottmotte [private data removed] so that I can then just use the [private data removed] and setup additional emails for it, etc?
Thanks and sorry about the mess! I understand if you can complete this request. I should have signed in with my [private data removed] first and then added the company.
I’m unsure
