Hi!
Is there a way to link to a user’s settings page without knowing the user’s username? I.e., I’d like to create a generic link somewhere for people to get to their settings/preferences page, something like this:
- Please click [here](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences) to access your Discourse settings.
Thanks,
Gunnar

Yes there is. That would me `/my/preferences`.
