Can members customize their profile with pics and/or links? If not, can you add that feature for Verified members?

Hi, everyone! smiley

I've seen several listeners' profiles with some cool backgrounds, pictures and many links.

I was wondering if members can do that too. Can members add links and customize the text, at least?

I wanted to link something I like and change the color of the text, but I can't find any way to do it.

All I can do is type in "About you" in the settings.

I don't see any buttons to customize the text or to add a link to a word on the profile.

If it's not possible, I'll just use an URL shortener and copy the short link directly ..unless that's not allowed.

Also, in case members can't customize their profiles with anything beside normal text, I think that adding that feature to verified members would be awesome. But that's just my opinion. I don't know how many people would really care.

Note: Before anyone takes the time to explain how to do it in forum threads or on the feed, I already know :)

Also, I didn't mean profile picture, but pictures in the profile description.

Thanks in advance for the help! heart

On my member account I tried typing some HTML code in that "About you" box in Settings, and it worked. This means you might be able to use an HTML editor to customize the text in the ways you want. But 7 Cups probably filters the HTML, and I'm not sure which features work and which are blocked.

There are many HTML editors on the Internet, if you don't already have one.

Links are generally OK unless they provide a way to communicate with you on some other website. For example, a link to a social media account is not OK. Shortened links are not a good idea in this context, but I don't think they are actually forbidden.

:) Thank you so much!

I'll try with the HTML yes

And thanks for the suggestion. I won't use the url shortener then, so everyone will immediately be able to tell what the link is.

All the listener profiles you've seen with backgrounds and pictures have been done using HTML coding in the description box. :) Anyone can do it, whatever their account, just not everyone knows how to do it or are interested in that much personalisation.

Listeners' Settings pages have a Source button for editing HTML. Members' Settings pages don't. That's why it's a little surprising that HTML works for members.

You can still use HTML. I customise the colour/font/size on my member profile with it.

Oh ok :) Good to know. Thanks!

I didn't try with html before this post because I assumed it wouldn't work. I used html on some other forums and sites before so it's not an issue.
