Abstract
One or more computer-implemented methods provided by computer-readable media for providing and loading user profile data from a server computer system to a client computer system may be used together with the server and client computer systems. The client computer system may be caused to initiate a login process for a user on the client computer system and to send login information to the server during the login process. After reception of the login information from the client, the server evaluates the received login information to obtain user information corresponding to a user identified in the login information. Based on the obtained user information, the server finds user profile data stored on the server computer system. Finally, metadata relating to the user profile data may be determined by the client computer system by pulling corresponding data from the server computer system.
