In Jamroom, there is the concept of Users and Profiles. The User is the person who uploads stuff to a profile.
Overview
When you created your account on a jamroom site, you got both a Profile and a User account.
The Profile is where your uploaded media and items go, its your public facing section.
The User is your connection information like your email address, your name and password.
When you write comments, its the User who writes comments. When you buy things, its the User who buys things.
You get an image for each. -
When you setup your profile in the earlier section you uploaded a Profile image that shows on your profile.
Upload a User image
Now we're going to upload a different image for our User Account. (some sites will automatically make your Profile image your User image until you upload a different one)
Under your User Menu ( the one with your name on it ) you will find a menu item for "Account Settings", click on that. -

It is possible for the admin user to connect more than one user to a single profile. If this is done the user image in the timeline will show which user uploaded which items to the communal profile.
