Hello! Newbie questions! :-)
Hello everyone! Brand new to the site after finding it through the ABTF Reddit community.
1. Is there a way to find other users with similar measurements? I would love to see what bras have worked for people with my same measurements, but all I can find is a way to search for specific BRA measurements. Sometimes I see an option that says "Other bras that fit" for a user, but I feel like the times I most want that feature is when I'm looking at real photo and I say "oh that looks like me!" but then I can't find a way to get to that person's profile. Are pictures not linked to our profiles on this site?
2. Since my measurements indicate five (!!!!) different size bras may fit me, is there a way to ask the site for recommendations based just on shape and attributes? I think it's weeding out bras that may actually work just fine for me. (It suggested a single bra for me in its recommendations, that can't be normal, right?)
3. Is this the place to post fit questions and recommendations from users? Or do people post here every day?
4. Last, this is kind of silly but in choosing a username I was just trying to be descriptive and now every time I look at my username I think it looks...um...inappropriate. Being totally new to this community, I don't want to come across as off-putting or be targeted, especially since I see warnings about creeps and stuff. So should I change my username?
The "recommended bras" was just a single bra in a size that is nowhere near my actual size. I'm used to bra calculators giving me many different sizes, but my actual size is somewhere around 36HH / 38H UK. I'm done breastfeeding (for now!) and so I'm on a mission to find a great-fitting bra that supports me, rather than lounging around in my tired nursing bras that don't do much really. I'm loving the information so far on this site and I hope to help others as well!
Thanks so much ladies!

Firstly, welcome!
1) Not sure / don't think so - I just know the "search by size / measurements" feature. But, if you click the 'more' button on top; there's a breast shape gallery that may help you?
2) Yes, the easiest way to do so is either post a fit request in a specific bra - which I'd recommend - or you might post an adventure giving info about your shape / some bras that fit 'okay' and ask for recommendations.
It's best to first narrow down some specific bras / brands you'd like to try though, as 5 sizes is not even that strange, considering many bra brands (sadly) size vastly differently!
3) I'm not 100% sure what you mean by 'is this the place' - but the upper bar 'fitting help' allows you to post a >fit request< which is definitely the best way to narrow down your size!
4) Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, nobody should judge you either way IMO. But feel free to change your username - possible in your profile / account (hamburger menu / the 3 vertical stripes)
And on recommendations; for some of us that algorithm never really works, but they are extended when you add more bras!
Btw, what I've done in the past is search for bras in my size on amazon (you can put in 34HH bra in the search bar), then come look for the specific bras here, check in my size or near it, and look at pics/read reviews to get a better idea.
but you do need ot start by trying bras on, too - because not all people in the same size will also have the same shape - some breasts are more spread out and some are more projected even in the same size. Some people have more tissue on the bottom or more tissue on the top. You have to get a better understanding of what doesnt fit you as well as what does - which again is made easier if you do fit requests and get other people to explain what they see - so you have words for what isnt working, and a direction of how to find what might work better
