Finding Userpics and Other Profile Links

So, I figured this out pretty quickly but it has come to my attention that I'm just geared to think like a developer and designer and not necessarily like a users. Which means LJ (my too sometimes) made the stupid move of making things harder on us but have no fear. Your links to updating your userpics or going to your memories aren't gone they are just hard to find.

1. Go to your profile. You are going to see some useless information. We are looking for Statistics on the right.


2. Under Statistics there are a lot of things that may or may not make sense to you. The first thing is the number of Journal Entries you've made, then comments you've posted, comments made to you. And then the important links come in.

Journal Entries will simply take you back to your journal.

Tags will take you to your tags page.

Memories will take you to your memories.

Photos will take you to your Scrapbook.

V-Gifts will take you to a page of all you v-gifts which I don't love. I miss some of them being on my profile.

Userpics does take you to your userpics but doesn't take you into editing them.





3. Instead your Userpic link will take you to this familiar page. You have the edit userpics at the top of this...


4. Which take you here.


5. Some have told me they don't actually have these statistics on their page and therefore have no links which I find insanely strange and I recommend going to that cloud on the new LJ bar and submitting feedback which tells LJ this. In the meantime a few links to help you out. I recommend making bookmarks for these.

LJ LINKS
Scrapbook: http://YOUR-USER-NAME.livejournal.com/pics/catalog
Memories: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=YOUR-USER-NAME
Edit Userpics: http://www.livejournal.com/editpics.bml
Birthdays: http://www.livejournal.com/birthdays.bml

If you think of any other links I've forgotten please comment and I'll add them!

A useful tip for submitting Support Requests: screenshots are enormously helpful. It doesn't do you or the volunteer trying to help you any good if you first have to spend a couple days talking past each other about what you do/should see.

Yeah, unfortunately none of this helps me find what isn't there. IF I can figure out how to report it to LJ I will.
