A few updates on the platform and the **gateways** in particular: - All gateways on the platform ([http://thethingsnetwork.org/map](http://thethingsnetwork.org/map) and the community pages) are _live updated_ from now on - every 5 minutes - to reflect the status and, if set, the coordinates, if send to the network. Gateways not seen for more than 3 hours are set to ‘inactive’ until they appear again. Unknown (new) gateways will be added automatically and named “Unclaimed gateway”, until the owner adds its own gateway with the same EUI to their gateway list. Matching happens based on the gateway EUI, so if you have a (real) gateway, add it to your account and fill in the EUI identifier! If you want to disable automatic updates for a particular gateway, uncheck the ‘Automatically update status and coordinates’ checkbox. Small note: changes on the platform are _not_ integrated back into the [http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways](http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways), which is completely based on actual live data from the network backend. - All pledges gateways from the kickstarter ‘impact’ landing page have been assigned to accounts with the same email address. If so, you’ve received an email about this. (If you used a different email address and want your gw attached, PM me with the original gateway name and your username.) - When you sign up for a new account, pledged gateways with same email address are added to the account. - profile pages: - some minor bugs fixed and text updated ---

@turiphro I created an account and registered my gateway, but I just realized I typed in an incorrect email address. How can I change it? Also, my gateway isn’t showing up in the list. Here’s the forums post - [Gateway not showing up in list](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/gateway-not-showing-up-in-list/1457) Thanks, Chris ---

Everyone now has a public profile page, like this one: [http://thethingsnetwork.org/u/turiphro/](http://thethingsnetwork.org/u/turiphro/) You’ll be able to find someone’s communities, gateways, and profile picture. To upload a profile picture (only 900 accounts to go!), login and click ‘Update Settings’ on the bottom of your account page. You can also update some settings like your personal tagline, name and email address. On the map page ([http://thethingsnetwork.org/map](http://thethingsnetwork.org/map)) it’s possible to click on a gateway to find its owner’s profile page. Will add some way to contact the owner soon. There’s also some _big update_ coming up in a few weeks in terms of design, so if you find some UI glitches fear not 😉 ---

Hi all, The new design of the community pages has been launched. Please take a look at your community page, or go to [http://thethingsnetwork.org/c/amsterdam](http://thethingsnetwork.org/c/amsterdam). A new feature of the community page, is a generator that creates a unique logo for each community. The logo is an svg file and can be downloaded and used for any purpose. **Feedback** We would like to receive feedback on the new design. We’re happy with any positive feedback and/or recommendations. Please provide the feedback on this forum topic: [New design community page](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/new-design-community-page/1662) (or send me a personal message: [laurens@thethingsnetwork.org](mailto:laurens@thethingsnetwork.org)). ---

##Today, TTN LABS is launched. TTN LABS is the educational and inspirational platform of The Things Network and aims at boosting the value creation on top of the network. I hereby invite you all to **visit** the platform, to **create groups** and to **share stories**.

A small update about the Community page: **Everyone who is part of a community can add posts now** (before, only the core team members were able to do so). This means that there are no more excuses to not inform the community about your activities or success stories 😉 _In case communities only want to release official posts on the community page, written by one of the core members, the ability for anyone to write posts can be taken away by unchecking the box on the [https://thethingsnetwork.org/c/[CITY]/settings](https://thethingsnetwork.org/c/%5BCITY%5D/settings) page. Only core members can access the /settings page._ ---

I’m wondering if the communities updates are pushed to the members. We do had an update on the Paris page, but AFAIK, the only way to know about it is to go the page. Wouldn’t be useful to mail members with the update, so we don’t necessary have to check the page every other day? ---

Currently, members don’t get a notification after publishing a post. Yes, I agree it’s useful to mail community members every now and then with updates, it’s on our to-do list. ---

A new update on the community page: **Auto-join** New members can join the community right away, there is no more need for an approval from a core team member. Part of the joining-process is that new members write a short message to _introduce themselves to the community_. This introduction message is displayed in the Activity Feed at the bottom of the page (the feed gets more attention in the next update). ![](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/2/279a973a21d89b1ea09d1a74677d25f3c9b2d8f0.PNG) _This is what a new members sees when joining a community_ When a member joins, he / she receives a welcome message. This welcome message can be altered by the core team members in the **community dashboard** via the _general_ tab. ![](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7cb0ac2c5476726623e273a5e415ff29d9eccd4f.PNG) _Via the dashboard the Welcome Message can be altered_. Please find your dashboard by adding `/dashboard` after the url of the community page (for core team members only). E.g. `www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/amsterdam/dashboard/` ---
