Member Profiles

Your profile displays personal information about you that you'd like to enable other members to view. This is a great way to show your personal interests so please go ahead and fill your details out. To edit this information, click the "Edit Profile" link in the Member Menu. You may change multiple fields at a time. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. No changes will be saved unless you click the "Edit Profile" button at the bottom of the page after making your changes.

Changing Your Password -To change your password, type in the new password in the Password: field, then retype it in the Confirm Password: field.

Changing Your Name -To change your name, type in the name you would like to have displayed in the Name: field. If you want to display your first and last name, connect them with an underline character. Note that this does NOT change your Login name which is used with your password to enter the Village. Also the Tavern Chat Room will recognise you from your Login name rather than the name shown here.

Changing Your Email Address -To change your email address, replace the entry with your new address in the E-mail: field.

Changing Your Website Link -You can give a short name or summary for your personal website by typing it in the Website: field. Multiple words are allowed.

You may provide the URL to your website in the URL: field. The URL must begin with http:// in order to be "linked". When you post articles or forum messages, a link to your site will then be accessible to visitors.

Creating a Signature -You may insert a short signature in the Signature: field. UBBC characters are allowed, enabling you to use formatting to create a unique and attractive "sig". Your signature will appear at the bottom of every forum post you create or reply to.

Language Selection -Your site administrator may have made multiple languages available on the site. If this is the case, you will see a Language: field.

To choose your preferred language, click the down-arrow and select which language you'd like the site to appear in. Please note that this will only affect the navigational and informational aspects of the site, and not the content that administrators, members or guests have typed in the articles, forums, links, downloads or poll sections.

You may also choose a picture, or "avatar", to represent you visually in the forums. Click one time on the names of the available pictures in the Picture: field. Allow time for the picture to display to the right of the list.

If none of the available pictures are to your liking, you may designate an image of your own by clicking once in the check box under "Use your own picture". Next to the check box, type the full URL to the image file you'd like to use. Make sure the URL begins with http:// and points to a valid .gif or .jpg file. Also note that the image will be resized to fit so choose a suitably sized and proportioned image.
