Vox Tip: Where Everyone Knows Your Member Photo

There are a lot of people on Vox, and new people continue to join Vox daily. Yay!

How do you stand out in this sea of happy faces? One way is to customize your member photo, that little image you see next to your name at the top of every Vox page when you're signed in.  Your member photo represents you throughout Vox, so you'll want to use a unique one. It's easy to change, just go to your Account and you can change it as many times as you like. Check out Adding a Member Photo in the Knowledge Base for more details.

So you've already added a nice photo of your favorite dancing hamster as your member photo, and you're wondering if it does anything other than show people how cool you are. We're here to tell you that there's a lot more to it!

Hover over your own member photo at the top of the page. Go on. We'll still be right here. Hey, a dialog menu!  Do you see all those options packed in there? You can go straight to editing your profile and member photo, or you can go directly to your blog or profile. You can also just click your member photo to go to your blog.

And there's more! Hover over someone else's member photo and you'll see different options. Along with links to that person's profile and blog, you can also edit your relationship to that person, send them a private message, or (hopefully this won't be necessary) block them.  If the person isn't in your neighborhood and you want to add them, then just click "Add to neighborhood". When you do that, you'll also get the option to also mark that person as a friend or family member.

Now that you know how easy it is, you might want to look for more people to add to your neighborhood.  Our Finding People article suggests some ways to do that.
