Link from forum account to MakerWorld account

It would be nice when looking at a person’s account on the forum, to see a link to their MakerWorld account or at least to give them an option to link to their MakerWorld account.

I haven’t noticed that before. I guess many people don’t use it.

I’ve outsourced the work to the end user, in that I’m too lazy to link it, but the names are the same, so with a little keyboard work they’ll get there :smiley:

Yes, I know, you have outsourced that work to me a couple of times and I am not happy about it. :joy: :joy: I would rather be able to just click a link.

Or you could just check the 7 day trending feed… @Josh-3D usually has something there. :wink:

Go to the Preferences in your forum account, click at Profile, then copy and paste your MakerWorld account URL into the Web Site input box

Yep exactly this.

@TheBreadman

@Tanklet do you think it would be manageable to have the accounts automatically linked?

Some people don’t want to link their MakerWorld, so I don’t know if they’d want that. It’s easy enough to link them anyways. I’d prefer they work on a better gift card redemption system :sweat_smile:

There are a handful of people that do not wish to have their models associated with the accounts they use on the forum because of the way they speak to people :slight_smile: :wink:

It’s always fascinating how some ‘creative’ types manage to attract so many ‘trolls’ - almost as if their own colorful way with words paints a target for others. Maybe they just need a hand (or two :pinched_fingers:) to express themselves better, or perhaps a brushstroke of self-awareness.

Pray it won’t be Italian bureaucracy dictating gift card redemption system, given recent changes to “cloud security”. (This is obscure reference to a joke about different countries doing different things in heaven vs hell, in this case hell is when italian bureaucracy dictates things and chinese do cloud security and privacy)

I know one guy who would LOVE this functionality. CR3 is saying all the time he wished more people could find his models!

I didn’t connect it but the name and photo are still the same. However, I don’t understand the usefulness of it

Could you tell us more about this?

Have you sent it to him yet?
