Welcome email has incorrect instructions for password change

The welcome email contains text like:

 

"To change password, sign in and go to: http://wagn.org/Brett_Neumeier?view=options"

 

however, that doesn't actually work, and there is no obvious URL that leads to the user card -> account -> details page where the password can actually be changed. It would be nice if the welcome email contained a URL that leads directly to the relevant password change view.

 

Nice catch.  I just fixed that in the code and will push and deploy soon.  The correct url would be: http://wagn.org/Brett_Neumeier?view=account

 

This is far from obvious, but you can see the url for every item on the menu by clicking to open it in a new tab (middle click, command click, or whatever shortcuts your system supports).  Some of these, like delete and follow, are actions and therefore not particularly useful, but most are just card views.

 

In the old UI, the "options" tab used to default to the account stuff for User cards; we clearly missed this fix in the upgrade.  Thanks for pointing it out!


Oh, sure enough! I didn't think of that.
