Changing your data and configuring your account
On this section you see your user name and the web address of your public page, and you can edit your data and configure your subscription.To change your password you must use the bottom form. You use the upper form for the rest of data. This includes:
-
email address: this is the email address in which you will receive every communication sent from our web. That's why it's very important that you make sure it is correct. On this address you will get the automatic reporst on possible trades, and any message other users send to you. It will also be used to send you your access data in case you forget them and request them from us.
Important: If you change your email address a message will be sent to the new address with instructions to confirm that the address is correct and is accessible by you. If you don't visit the link included in the message before 48 hours, your membership will be automatically cancelled. Therefore, you must make sure the address you provide is correct, and that you receive the message and follow the instructions. - Country: you choose here your country of residence. This is important for other users to know how far away from you they are and whether they are interested in contacting and trading with you. For some countries you can also select the state or province in which you live so that you narrow further your geographic location.
- The option "trade only with users in your country" determines the range of the search for the matches with other users miniatures. If you check it, only matches with users that live in your own country will be shown. If you leave it blank the matches will be searched with the collections of users from any country, as long as they have left this option also unchecked and want therefore to trade with users from every country. This options affects both the searches for trades that you perform on the site from the section and the automatic search that we make for you every day (and whose results, if any, are sent to the email address that you enter on this same page).
- The option "accept emails from non-users" allows visitors of the site who have not registered yet with us to send you messages from your public page. If you leave it blank only those people who have previously registered will be able to contact you.
- Configuration of the automatic report on possible trades. Here you can choose to receive no report (option 'none'), or to get it every time there are new miniatures available that you want ('all new matches'), or to get it only when the users who have new miniatures that you want also want miniatures that you have ('only mutual matches').

Your avatar is used to identify you on the site: in our forums, with your comments, and also when posting your achievements on your Facebook profile (see next section). We use avatars stored and managed at Gravatar.com so that you don't need to upload your image at every site where you want to use it. You just need to register on the Gravatar site once and associate your favorite image with the email address you have used to register on our site. That image will be used as your avatar here from that moment on (though it may take up to a day initially for the image to be available to us).
Your business card is a special card image we generate for you with your basic data that you can use to identify you at other sites and to promote your web page here. You can choose the type of card you want to use and include an image of your choice. You can also choose to display your business card on your public page.
