"My Account" vs. "My Profile"


Recommended Posts

Posted

I see that the "My Account" menu option has now been relabelled as "My Profile". Except of course, it isn't my profile - that's something else completely. If it needs to be changed, why not call it "My Logs", rather than something else which already exists and is therefore confusing?

What's the old saying about two countries separated by the same language..? :yikes:

Except it’s not the same thing: if you click the profile link on the left side of the page you get account info and activity, and if you click my profile on the right of the page, you get the profile info. Two buttons saying the same thing, but giving different info. Maybe I do care a bit after all.

I'm confused now....

 

What 'My profile' on the left side? On which page?

 

All I see are the home page after log in has a 'My Profile' on the right hand side which take you to your cache stats. Then on that page the my profile is replaced by a 'My Public Profile' which take you to the public bio page. ;)

Which then has a link that says Edit your profile which takes you to your Account.

 

Yes, it is a bit confusing. (Hey look, two countries same opinion. Imagine that)

 

I'm sure if someone brought it up in the gc.com forum they would take a look at correcting the wording.

Ahhhh. Silly me, thinking that the Left and Right references were on the same page :lol:

 

I see what you guys mean now.

Perhaps mtn-man should move this to the main techie geekie page somewhere where so that a corporate web type person can see it??

For the record, I wasn't talking about the language. Just the confusion of having 2 links to something called "My Profile" - one of which goes to what always used to be my profile, and the other going to what used to be known as "My Account". And yes, I probably asked in the wrong place, but I find the main forums a bit scary...
