For me, the bio is at the top of the settings page in a text box, and the change email button is at the bottom.

Found the change email button. Can't find the text box at the top of the settings page. I'll keep looking.

mk - any guesses why this went URL and not embedded? Not sure if you get edit history but I tried taking out the "/a/" and adding ".jpg" at the end.

Because it's a link to an album, not the picture.

c_hawkthorne  ·  1141 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I swear I took out the /a and updated and it still didn't do it. At least you're talented thanks Devac!

The link without /a leads somewhere else, see:

FO7GLi6 is album's ID, the picture within has 0mbaFzO. Kinda like a difference between the name of an album and names of songs on it.

That's some fine detective work. Imgur is garbage but free and I like free. I'm ready for hubski image hosting if that gets confirmed.

Oh wow, yeah I don't have that. No text box.

Here's what I see

I think it can be a remnant of the previous anti-spam restrictons, at least that'd be my guess. IIRC, you couldn't post, change profile description or have links in comments until you completed first 'hubwheel' (that thing next to your nick in the top navigation bar).

Guessing after mk, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just hidden via CSS, therefore accessible and editable with 'inspect element' feature in most browsers. Can't hurt giving it a try, can be fun.

That makes sense. I don't care that much. Just wanted to report the issue. If it's intentional, then it should say so.

Well that's fun. mk is our great and glorious leader and one of the the guys who runs this place. Any bugs go to him. He'll probably ask what browser you're on and might want other info. Hope that gets fixed soon!

Same issue in across browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and across devices (Brave browser on mobile).
