Change the "USER" button text (previously "MY PF") to gear symbol

[QUOTE="Wrichik Basu, post: 6804392, member: 623143"] Recently, the "MY PF" button text was changed to "USER", as pointed out in [URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/signing-in-to-pf-changes-the-log-in-to-user.1045260/']this thread[/URL]. I was thinking whether it would be more appropriate to change it to a gear icon: [CENTER] [ATTACH type="full" width="105px"]314668[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Universally, the gear icon symbolizes settings, and this is true across different OS and desktop or mobile environments. I don't think anybody would have any difficulty to understand that the icon displays a menu for account settings. As far as my knowledge goes, this symbol is readily available in most icon packs too. Hovering over the "USER" button just shows the username. Instead, it should show something like "Account settings" or "Your account" which will make things more clear. I took the liberty of creating a poll with this thread to collect user responses anonymously. [/QUOTE]
