By updating your profile you will be able to add and edit a whole bunch of neat stuff.
First off you need to be logged into the forums with your user name. Click on the login icon which is located all the way on top next to the home/help/search/register icons. Type in your username and password to log in. If you haven’t registered yet then you will need to do that first. Next, once you have logged into your account go up to those little icons on top again. This time around there will be more icons to choose from. Here you will locate the profile icon so click on it. Now you will see many goodies to change around.
Password
When you first registered you were asked to provide an email and in this email you were given a random password. Well now you are able to change that password. Since the one you are emailed is rather hard to memorize, you might want to consider changing it here so it will be easier for you to remember. Type out your new password and then retype it again to verify it.
Name
Just like the password you can now change your username as well. This time around you can use some special characters and spaces in it. This is the name that will appear when you post.
Email
You can change your email address here. Maybe for some reason you have switched emails then you can update your profile with the new email account.
Addition Information
Here you are able to provide some addition information in which other forum users can check out in your profile. This includes your genders, date of birth, and your location.
Website
Here if you have one, then you can type in the url of your personal website.
Contact Info
In this section there are many various messengers to fill out. If you use any of these, whether it is MSN, AIM, ICQ, or YIM then you can provide this here so when other forum users want to contact you by a messenger than they will easily locate you from your profile.
