> I’m tackling one of the last items on [our 1.8 task list](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-version-1-8/49801): breaking up the user preferences page into tabs. Some goals: Clear organization Update fewer fields at a time Avoid [confusing messages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/saving-edits-on-user-preferences-page-with-required-custom-fields-is-unclear/51090) about a mandatory field being blank Mobile-friendly Here are some screenshots of what I have so far: That last section “Site” could probably have a better name. I’m trying to avoid a word like “Other” or “Misc”… Thoughts? Things you’d like to see?
