How To - Edit Your Profile
«

Step 1.
Make sure you are logged in. Click on
Profile
in the top left corner of your screen.
Step 2.
In the left column of your screen you will see a
Modify Profile
section. Click on the menu item you wish to edit. (Menu Items described below.)
Account Related Settings:
Select this to edit your display name, email address (hide/unhide), password, and security question.
This information is private
. Your current password is required to edit it.
NOTE - If you choose to hide your email address, it *will* be hidden from other forum members but YOU will still be able to see it. Please do not panic.
Forum Profile Information:
Select this to
edit your public profile
, including your web address, your avatar and your post signature. (More details below.)
Look and Layout Preferences:
Select this to change
the way you view the forum
, select your default theme, add your time zone, etc.
Notifications and Email:
Select this to edit your
email notification preferences
or to manage the topics you currently receive notifications about.
Personal Message Options:
Select this to
block/allow private messages
from individual members or all members. Manage your ignore list.
Step 3.
Make your changes.
Step 4. Save!
Each area contains clear descriptions of the changes you can make, but the Forum Profile Information is usually the area where people make the most changes so those options will be described here in detail. (Note: If you do not wish this information to be public, do not add it there.)
Edit Your Forum Profile
1. Add an avatar and personal text.
. This is the image which will be displayed in your profile and next to all your posts. You may choose from one available here, link to an image hosted elsewhere on the web or upload an image from your computer. The personal text is the byline or slogan which is displayed beneath your avatar.
Note - maximum size for avatar images is 100x100 pixels.
2. Add birthdate, location and gender.
3. Add instant messaging identities.
This will enable other users to contact you outside of the forum.
4. Add custom title and signature.
Perfect for your Sarah Palin Baby Name!
The custom title is shown beneath your display name beside your posts and the signature is displayed at the bottom of every post. The signature field may contain hyperlinks to your blog and can be formatted. If you are not comfortable with the forum code, try designing it within a post window, using the preview function and then copying the code into this field.
5. Add the title and URL of your blog.
This displays as an icon link in your posts and in full on your profile page.
7. Save!
You may now view your edited profile by clicking on
Profile
in the top left corner of your screen, as above.
All forum members
may view your profile by clicking on your display name in forum posts. Again, if you do not want this information to be public,
do not add it
.
Your profile information will display in your forum posts as follows:
(
Note:
All changes are retroactive. If you change your avatar, for example, all your old posts will display the new avatar, not the old one.)

The Admin has now made it so your location will show up in the "information bar" next to your posts. <------ You can see where mine is (South Coast, NSW, Australia) under the red stars over there.
So you might want to put your location into your profile - be as non-specific or as specific as you like. Instructions on how to put it in are in the above post (see Edit Your Forum Profile, step 2)
Though I recommend if you live in a small town, to be less specific.
In that case you might want to put your nearest large town, or state capital.
