Polycount profiles: LinkedIn information !

adam · Apr 2008

Hey hey, I just finished setting up LinkedIn information to work for your public Polycount profiles.

To do so, go to UserCP -> Edit Profile -> Social Networking -> Follow Instructions

I won't write out the instructions here because I'd like to make sure that they're clear enough to follow. You'll of course need a LinkedIn account and know how to find out what your public profile is.

Check out my profile (click my user name) to see what it'll look like when you're all setup.

Thanks!

pretty cool.

vahl, your linkedin link is dead

edit: problem is that you can't have the / before pub, contrary to instructions

McBradd · Apr 2008

How do you even get to your public profile? If I'm logged in, then it only shows me my homepage, (even if I search for myself/click the link) and if I'm not logged in, it won't let me see it.

Too many crit rockets to the face, Tumer? =P

Awesome. Thanks Adam.

Good idea to customize your linkedin public profile url too. ala
http://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonnewton for me

Cool - works well but the instructions to set up the user CP were slightly different for me.

Jeremy Lindstrom · Apr 2008

Just a small correction, you have to click on the avatar or 'view profile' if clicking on your name otherwise you just get the dropdown box.

woot, thanks adam.

Matabus · Apr 2008

Looks good Adam.

Also a convenient reminder to update my bloody profile to mention the 4 titles I've shipped since the last time I looked at it.

I just made a Linkeding profile (hint, need contacts)... the customized URL doesnt work for me at all, it always says it wasnt found, but it worked on a coworkers machine so... i'm assuming it works... for everybody else but me.

Joshua Stubbles · Apr 2008

I get a "profile not found" for ya as well, Strange.

This is so weird... it seems to work every now and then... even on my machine it shows up now sometimes, then it says not found a few minutes later... then found again.

Thanks for trying it out Vas
