7. In the floaty bar, click on "Page".
8. In the menu that opens, click "Edit account".
9. In the new "Edit account" page that opens, scroll down to locate the "InternetTabletTalk.com" input field.
10. Open a new browser window.
11. Go to talk.maemo.org.
12. Log in if not logged in already.
13. Locate your talk name near the top right of the page.
14. Click on your name.
15. Copy the URL from the address bar of the talk.maemo.org browser window.
16. Switch back to the maemo.org window.
17. Paste that URL from step 15 into the "InternetTabletTalk.com" input field you located in step 9.
18. Scroll to the bottom of the "Edit account" page.
19. Click the "Save" button.
20. Scroll to the bottom of the "Publish account details" page that opens.
21. Click the "Publish" button.
22. Wait a day or more for the karma calculator to run again for your account and pull in your talk.maemo.org statistics.

And now that the new theme has mostly stabilized, I'll be redoing my screenshots and finally adding this info to the wiki.

Edit: I know you can paste over the ItT link for karma, it's just a bit of dichotomy to have the two separate usernames.

I know it took me several days and lots of digging to figure this out (after voting had already occurred ). It is a bit of a lengthy process.

@sjgadsby
I didn't know that anyone was working on a wiki for this. I was just concerned that with the switch to talk.maemo.org, and the growing pains from that, this might get overlooked. Or, by the time it was addressed, it'd be past the 3 month cut-off for having an account prior to voting. Feel free to drop a link to the wiki here so that other might find it, perhaps a little easier.

Also, I'd like to ask that anyone who felt this was helpful, please post. It would help to keep it active so that more members see it and have a chance to get registered and vote (and take advantage of all the other benefits of maemo.org).

mine is: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...er.php?u=19801
5a) In the "normal" view of the forums, click on your name in the upper right corner to get to your profile page. Copy the web address from there currently mine is http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=19801 (also no link on minimalistic theme)
*** Can anyone cofirm if this will need to be changed to a talk.maemo.org link? ***
