How do I create new profiles?
I had thought we could create more than one profile for our account, but when I go to the Profiles section there's no "Add" button or anything.
Is there a way to do this? Or change the name on my main profile?
My apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question.
Thank you in advance for any words of wisdom!




This is totally the right place to ask, no worries. :)
You can make new profiles when you go to comment or post in a new community.
For comments, you'll get a little popup box that looks like this:
Once you have additional profile names, you can choose which one to make your default name. It should look like this:
So while you can't change the name of a profile once you choose it, you can create a new name and then switch that one to the default.
Awesome, thank you!!
Thanks, I was also looking for this info.
Hi. To me it was totally completely NOT obvious that the way to make a new profile for commenting was to click on the icon of your default profile.
And it was even less clear that you had to type your comment first before choosing a profile name...
Thanks for this feedback. And yeah it isn't always clear to folks. I think we'll need to take a look at that and see what we can do to make it better :)
This is a rather silly way to make new profiles. I hope that gets updated soon.
How would you like to see it updated?
When commenting in a new community you will have the option to use a new profile
Or an existing one, or anonymous 😀
When you go to post in a new community you haven't posted in, you can create a username specific to that community.
