How to edit profile

DickRussell | Posted in General Discussion on March 19, 2012 09:45am

My profile info is two years out of date. I went to “My Profile,” clicked Edit, but saw no way to edit the info on my background, only things like email address, name, security question. What am I missing?

    When you click "My Profile",

    When you click "My Profile", a row of five buttons should appear:

    View   Activity   Edit   Invitation   Badges

    When you click on "Edit" an additional four buttons should appear under the first row:

    Account     Forum Profile      Personal Information     Security Question

    → Click on "Forum Profile" and you should be able to edit personal info.

      After clicking "Edit," I do not see any "Forum Profile" button; only Account, Personal Information, and Security Question appear.

        Yeah, there apparently is still no way to change info such as where you live.  Just be thankful that you can change anything at all.

          Something definitely screwy

          When I click on Edit, I definitely see four buttons, with "Forum Profile" located right between Account and Personal Information; clicking on the Forum Profile button opens the screen to multiple input windows top to bottom, including

          About me

          Location

          Area of expertise

          Age

          Birthday

          Personal quote

          ......

          and several more.

    I just checked - Can't edit my forum profile.

    Guess this is something they still haven't fixed.

      Still seems to be the case that only "Account Information" can be edited.

      Of course, it's only been a little over 2 years.  You can't expect stuff to get fixed instantly.
