How to link your Duolingo/Duome account to your forum profile

Post by luo-ning »

Edit by @Corinnebelle This option is not available immediately when you sign up as a new user, try interacting a little bit with forum and you will be able to access more features.

To link your Duolingo/Duome account to your forum profile (changes the text in your profile info into a link — see example in my profile):

  1. Go to the edit profile page.
  2. Under the "Duolingo Username" field, click "Link account".
  3. Copy the provided text to your clipboard.
  4. Replace your “Name” in your Duolingo profile with the copied text, then click “SAVE CHANGES”. Make sure to keep a copy of the old name so you can change it back once you’re done!
  5. Click the button to verify.
  6. Once you’ve successfully linked your account, you can change your Duolingo name back.

One note, just so that new users don't conduct a long useless research :-)

This possibility (Profile/Edit Profile) is only available when you post at least 10 comments.

And a second note :-) - This feature does not work now. It probably needs a longer timeout because Duolingo is sometimes slower when searching for a profile.

EDIT: An hour later it worked.

I still can't find this. I'm past the 10 comments now,too. Edit profile is there but I don't see anything about linking Duolingo anywhere. Just boxes for location/Facebook/Twitter etc.

[mention]TammiP[/mention] I think the feature has been removed or moved. [mention]luo-ning[/mention] , do you have actual information?

EDIT: Now it seems to be back again.

I'm confused. Isn't linking to one's DuoLingo account/stats the very first thing someone who creates an account on DuoMe is going to want to do?

Are there really hoops to jump through first?? (10 posts in forum, for example)

Regarding not being able to edit profile fields: it's not something duome-specific, but it's a standard phpBB logic for newly registered users with some options being hidden/disallowed by default. They (phpbb developers) probably had their reasons when they introduced these limitations. They're probably there to encourage newcomers to write at least a few useful posts before they get extra features. To allow the forum community to get to know you first. Spam protection is another thing that comes to mind. Yes, we can override at least some of these limitations, but sometimes we're not even aware of them %)

Does this no longer work? I tried it but it didn't seem to work for me.

Ha. It's just changing your Duolingo name to a bunch of code and changing it back again.
But it didn't work for me, so it's moot.

I saw the linking option when first registering for the Forum, but being cautious I didn't want to link at that stage.

Has anyone had this working for them once they've posted 10 comments?

Yes, when I posted 10 comments, it worked for me. But it was over half a year ago. Now I can't test it because I have my account linked already. But the field Duolingo: your duolingo username is on the Edit profile page now. (Wasn't a few months ago).

@Who it doesn't work for: Try to describe its behavior in more detail. Best to add screenshots. Maybe [mention]duome[/mention] or someone else will help.

It's doing the same for me.. hm, I thought I saw a comment on here somewhere about it..

Okay, I figured it out. I'm a bit slow today. I assumed it was saying to copy the text into the "username" field, but it worked after switching that back to my actual username and copying it into the "name" field. Silly me. Hope this helps someone.

Of course, [mention]Samara858057[/mention] , but thanks, this might be the problem of the others too.

4. Replace your “Name” in your Duolingo profile with the copied text, then click “SAVE CHANGES”.

That's exactly what I did. Multiple times. Never worked.

Maybe, try to replace both of them. And wait a few minutes after replacing.

:-) Oh, sorry. Both of the fields - "Name" and also "Username". If you also try to view the new profile (https://www.duolingo.com/profile/xxxxxxxxxxxx), it will be best. Just an experiment, till [mention]duome[/mention] returns. I think there is a delay on the Duolingo side. Different than before.

I looked and there’s only one name field in my profile that is editable: Duolingo name. I don’t see two names that can be edited.

[mention]JudieLC[/mention] I think we're home. You have to replace it here: https://www.duolingo.com/settings/account . Now replace only the "Name" field . Forget about the experiment above.

I think I fixed the verification issue, it worked on my own account, but can someone, please, try it as well?

It can be misleading, but it is possible to verify your account without actually saving your duolingo username.
Be sure to save the username by hitting submit button in your forum profile settings.
