I’m new. I can’t fine any way to enter a personal profile, photo, etc. You may tell me how to find this, but I will suggest that you also make the means more obvious.

It’s because you can’t. You need to have a higher trust level (“registered” or “member”, I don’t remember) or something like that.

But uploading your own avatar and profile background is restricted. You need to either [subscribe](https://www.thephilosophyforum.com/s) or wait till you reach Trust Level 2, which requires a few weeks of engagement in discussions.

I want to comment on the badge “Regular”.

This word reminds me of something that people say about their internal physiological plumbing. When I found out about the word, I cannot unthink it unless it is partnered with other words, such as, “Regular occurrence”, “Regular feature”. But as a stand alone word next to my username, I can’t help but read it as some people mean it. You know, in the toilet.

I like that this badge exists. It is a trust level. But I wonder if it could be renamed, such as “Active”.

But it’s good to be regular!

And some of us browse TPF on the toilet.

And write on the toilet. (I’m having to be quite restrained here)

Sometimes I will print out a particular forum message and crumple it until the paper is very soft, and take it with me on my regular business.

I’m really straining to be this restrained.

(I’m going to stop typing now)
