@Gloria, interesting features. I know that the best way to learn how to use them is to play with them, but could you explain what the “User Card” is? I assume it’s some section on a user profile page, but I don’t exactly where or what. Thanks!

Hi Nozomi! Great question :slight_smile: When you click on a user’s name connected to a message they’ve written, a small ‘card’ will pop up showing basic information. So the ‘user card background’ will be the background image of this little card. Hope this makes sense! :sunny:

@JoannaW
Thank you for your explanation! Card = a popup user profile. Got it!
And sorry for my delayed reply - I did not realize I had a reply to my post!

Hello @tehleel95 :slight_smile:
It depends on the task, some tasks require you to be a Verified translator, other tasks don’t.
I hope you find some interesting projects to work on! :star2:

Hi @AngelaG, I’ve moved your message to this thread which I think you might find helpful :slight_smile:

You should be able to change your username by going to settings and clicking on the pencil symbol :pencil2: next to your username.

Hi again Joanna :grinning: there is no pencil symbol next to my username but only next to the profile photo and the Name, but not the UserName!

@AngelaG Oh ok! Why don’t you let me know here what you want to change it to and I’ll change it for you :blush:

Hi everybody,

I tried to add a profile picture, but it says that there’s an error while uploading it.
Is there a specific size the pictures should have?

Thanks in advance to whoever replies.
