What is the User Profile?

The User profile gives information about the member, including:

How do I create my user profile page?

Every member can create his own publicly viewable profile page. This page includes information provided by the member, either during the registration process or later, via clicking on the "my account" button. By then clicking on "my account", and selecting "user profile", you are able to create/edit your personal user profile.

Profile title = your member name

We recommend that pictures posted in the user profile to be 370x280

Under Placeholder tokens you can insert links / URL to your Facebook or MySpace pages and to your favourite websites.

What is the Comment Wall in my profile?

All visitors of your profile can leave a message.

• When you see a member's name, clicking on it will take you to view their user profile page.
• The members list allows you to browse all registered members, and by clicking on their names you can visit the user profiles.
