currently everything in the profile page of the user can be divided into 3 fields:

1. _personal cart/personal page_: things that are shown up in the user cart and is somehow the way a user is being known for others.

2. _profile setting_: user name, email, password, user interface language, … ; things that are necessary to be filled, and are personal settings.

3. _feed setting_: mailing list mode, watching or muting topics or people, … ; things that help people make the content personal for themselves.

**is there a good way to separately show these segments to user** so that it’d be easier for him to fill it?

> Update: We settled on anchors: Our one-page user preferences page is quite overwhelming right now. I think it ought to be sectioned up, similar to how most user pages work now. Note: Let’s not get stuck on what groupings are the most logical right now. For something to start with, I more or less just applied some simple cut-off points in the current ordering of the Preferences page.
