This is to explain the items and settings in the Profile section. You can access your profile by clicking on your highlighted name anywhere in the forum or by clicking on Profile in the top menu. You can see anyone else's profile by clicking on the highlighted name of that person anywhere it appears in the forum, but you can only change your own profile.
You can change items in your profile as often as you like. To access the options below, enter your Profile, then click on "Edit Profile".
The first page is to set your Avatar (or not). On the top line you can either upload an image from your computer or use a url.
The second line will take you to a selection of avatars provided by the forum. In either case, when you're happy with the results, click "Save Avatar Changes".
For more Profile options, click on Settings while in Edit Profile mode. These are mostly self-explanatory, but it is recommended that you choose Yes for "Show Participated" and highly recommended that you choose Yes for "Enable Drafts".
In Settings you also have the option of choosing a Theme. Go here to review the choices.
When you have Settings selected to your satisfaction, go to the very bottom of the page on the left side and click "Save Account Settings".
Now you can go on to Privacy. Again, mostly self-explanatory, but do bear in mind that remaining "visible" helps the forum by showing visitors that it has an active membership. When you are finished with this section, again go to the very bottom of the page on the left side and click "Save Privacy Settings".
Now move on to Notifications. (Not every single option on this page is pertinent to Any Port.) You can check-mark in the left column for notifications via the forum. If you prefer or also want email notifications, use the pop-up menus to specify when you wish to receive them. At the bottom of the page you can also opt out of these choices for a specific board.
Badges are n/a for Any Port.
