How to contact a user?

I only found Telling folks what I do - #16 by bob3bob3, where it says:
'If you are using the imagery web page and are viewing someones image it is possible to comment on it. (Hover over the icons to find “Comment”.
And in Telling folks what I do - #17 by eneerhut it says: “Comments are definitely the most effective way to get in touch with someone who has contributed imagery. They will receive an email …”
I really hovered over everything, but without success.

Unfortunately the comment functionality was removed in 2021 when we made a major platform change. We’d love to learn more about how you would use comments though so we can consider future features.

I was just looking for a way to get in contact with a user, e. g. to ask him about the settings he used for a video or details about the camera he used.

Makes sense.
For camera details, you might be able to get some of the information you need from the image details tab. You can also ask in the forum if you have questions about recommended settings for a particular camera.

This is a great feature suggestion @GITNE.

We’ve started some work in this space by asking users to specify their Mapillary username at forum sign-up several months ago (its a first baby step, but for example if you look at Ed’s profile you’ll see his Mapillary username there).

Everyone can edit their own profile to add their Mapillary username. General SSO would make a lot of sense though, so consider it on the backlog!

Of course, and thank you for your suggestions as always! We appreciate it.

This seems to be a good idea. Recently I saw a user who seems to be enthusiastic in capturing street views in my city, and I wish I could contact them.
