Hi all
We've redesigned the settings menu to hopefully make it easier for you to access and change your account settings. Some of the changes include:
- When changing your username, you can now select from your previous usernames via a drop down.
- You no longer need to enter your Mumsnet password when changing your username. We did this so people who sign up to Mumsnet via social (e.g Google or Facebook) can change their usernames. Previously they weren't able to, as they don't have a Mumsnet password (they log in to Mumsnet via their Google or Facebook account instead). Also on the Mumsnet app you dont need to enter your password to change your username and we'd like to keep the experience consistent where possible.
- We've added a new 'Notifications' page. There you can choose whether you can receive direct messages and when you receive notifications by email.
- We've added links to the 'Talk settings' pages, so you can access them more easily.
- We've removed the Mumsnet mates feature. It was originally built so you could choose which users saw your 'photo gallery' (if you had one). But the photo gallery feature no longer exists.
What do you think? Could we make it easier for your to change your settings? Is there anything you'd like to see in the settings menu that's not currently there?
We're continuing to make improvements to the menu so we'd really appreciate your feedback.
