How do we list our interests on mylot?

When I used to use mylot a few years ago, we could add things into our interests. Everything from movies and music to food and wine to sex and relationships.
It made it much easier to find a topic or discussion we were interested it and wanted to voice our opinions on. But I can't seem to find this anywhere on here now - can we still do it, or do we now just have to search for a particular subject?

You've been away for a while
Things have changed A LOT here.
Maybe you've seen this already but if you haven't give it a read as this place is different to the old site you knew.
Earnings are calculated very differently guidelines have been tweaked a bit and it takes a while to get used to...it did for me when I came back

@Samanthaowen1991 they changed the age limit to 13+ which I don't agree with.
That being said admin does let a lot of more mature discussions stay up.
Admin is WAAAAAY more active here than on the old site and for the most part that's good and he does respond to messages and does seem to know what's going on here and takes action with certain issues.
You can't have really heated discussions too much anymore as there is the new block feature which we didn't have before.
Many like this but I hate it
Loads more I could write but will let you judge for your self
I'm just very glad to see another UK member back on hereand it is still a great place to be and talk about all sorts of stuff
PS...we now have edit and delete which is useful...if you make typos you can edit...if you say stupid stuff you regret you can delete

@Mike197602 haha yeah I noticed the edit button earlier after making a mistake and am very pleased about it
Hmm yeah not sure about the age. What was it before?
Definitely nice to see a UK member! Are there many of the original members left? I don't remember any names to be honest but like yours, I'm sure if a name/picture popped up it'd spark my memory! I remembered JJ after he'd said he used to be the lamb.
It's good that Admin get more involved. There used to be way too many people making discussions like "what's your shoe size" or "where do you live" or "guess my favourite colour" or something silly like that lol.

Thanks Mike, I've just given this a read through. Seems like ALOT has changed.. certain things we can't post anymore and everything has to be PG.. it's fair enough I suppose. Some of the discussions people used to put on their were a bit vile and just for shock value I think.
Yeah, it really is very different now! But good different, I think. It seems like there aren't as many members either - there used to be thousands but a lot of them only had 1 or 2 activity points, obviously expecting to make a dollar with one comment!

It has changed a lot since I used to use it. I quite like the lower payout rate - $5 is easier to reach so it makes sense!

You can edit your 'Bio' section in your profile to say something about you and you can add relevant tags to your discussions, which will help others with similar interests to find them. Adding relevant tags to your discussions will also show you discussions which use the same tags in your "Explore/Interesting Discussions" menu and also list similar discussions in the "You Might Also Like" pane to the right of any discussion. (If a discussion has no tags, this pane may not be visible).

@owlwings thank you, I did try to write in my bio when I first rejoined, but it wouldn't let me type anything in the box. I will give it another go, though!
I've not seen the pane to the right; I'll keep an eye out for that!

I think those are still a topic here om mylot, I commented some about movies, foods, etc. And most of the time, members talk about what they do.
