Accessing account information from forums

Maybe I'm missing something, but since they changed the format of the website, I no longer see a link for account information directly from the forums. I have to click on a different link, like land, or community, and then go to the little 'your account' button on the top. There isn't even a text link, so it seems to have been purposely omitted from the forums.

Anybody know why, or whether I'm just not seeing it?

HoHoHoseQueen... good spot -- I don't see it either, and there's certainly room on the text toolbar next to "support" for a "your account" link. :)

I would like it to be added for the purposes of convenience -- since, it is fairly important and all that. :D

Thoughts? Feelings?

I think you are looking for "User CP" also known as User Control Panel in the upper left of every page. Obvious, no? ;) Or are you looking for "your account" information, like billing and such. it is on most pages - except the forums - in the upper right.

Well, I don't THINK so, but I could be wrong.

I'm talking about the page where all your basic account info is listed, your land tier, monthly and annual bill, and the link for your daily transactions. I don't see that on the link you provided, rather it seems to be specifically for the forums?

You edited before I answered :)

Yes, the your account page. I wonder why it's not available directly from the forums?

The forums, and the account page are the two I use most often and having to click on another page as a go-between is an inconvenience, although a very minor one.

Not Obvious, probably not even the case

Other pages on the web site have a link for your account that deals with credit card info, inworld transaction history and the like, which is not at all the same as the User CP link.

Yeah, to me it seems like an inconsistency in page layout -- I'm no expert but it doesn't feel right.

That's why I was thinking access to account info might have been purposely omitted from the forums.

Good catch. We'll fix it.

Good! I thought it was only me being technologically inept and not being able to find it.
