When you’re reading a conversation, click on anyone’s avatar and a user card will pop up that gives you a little summary of their profile.

You can add a background image and biographical information to your own card by updating **[your profile preferences](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/my/preferences/profile)**.

## About Your Profile Information

### About me

Your card will only show the beginning of your bio, but your profile page will show it all, so feel free to write as much or as a little as you’d like about yourself. Your user card and profile page are publicly viewable.

### Timezone

When someone inserts a [date/time](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/advanced-post-styling/5475#insert-datetime-4) in their post, it will automatically translate to _your_ timezone, if set. Your timezone is not publicly displayed.

### Location

This is a text field and not a GPS location, so you may write whatever you’d like here. This information shows on your user card as well as on your profile page.

### Web Site

This will link to your website from both your user card and profile page. “http://” not required.

### Profile Header & User Card Background

Keep in mind that a lightening overlay will automatically be added to the user card background image to ensure reasonable legibility of your card (or a darkening overlay when in [dark mode](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/enabling-automatic-dark-mode/5480)).

Tip: You can use animated gif or webp files as your profile header or user card background. Click on my avatar and you’ll see an animated gif I grabbed off [Giphy](https://giphy.com/gifs/oskouioskoui-gifscapade-l41lT4n6ylgZnDY88) ([a scene from _My Neighbor Totoro_](https://video.disney.com/watch/making-acorns-grow-my-neighbor-totoro-4d7fff18562dca973adbb234)) to demonstrate.

### Featured Topic

Have a favorite topic you want everyone to know about? This will appear as a link on both your user card and profile page. I am featuring this very topic!

### Date of Birth

This information will list you on [the birthdays page](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/cakeday/birthdays/today) 🎂, which is not publicly viewable but available to everyone with an account.
