Your user profile

When viewing a profile, it may look slightly different depending on whether you're viewing your own profile (first image below) or someone else's profile (second image).

Looking at your own profile, you can modify your settings and it contains mostly text links for managing your details, while another user's profile will appear slightly differently, containing icons for interaction with that user.

Your own profile:

Another user's profile:

• View my: Reviews - list of reviews written by you
• View my: Recommends - displays item recommendations made by and for the user
