How to Edit Your Account Settings

Your account settings control whether or not you receive the CIRTL newsletter, what kinds of e-mail you get from the CIRTL Café, and your basic account information.

To access your profile you must first be logged in to the cirtl.net site. Once logged in, click "My Account" at the top right-hand corner of any cirtl.net page. Within your "My Account" page you'll see several tabs that allow you to adjust certain aspects of your account.

Clicking the "View" tab will allow you to view a summary of your profile and account settings.

Clicking the "Edit" tab will open up 4 sub-tabs where you can edit various aspects of your profile ("Account", "Personal Information", "Terms of Service", and "Twitter Accounts")

The "Account" sub-tab will allow you to edit the following fields:

1.) Your username

2.) Your email address

3.) Your password

4.) Your status (blocked or active)

5.) Your roles on the cirtl.net site

6.) Your profile picture -> to add a profile picture scroll to the "Picture" section of this page, browse to the file you'd like to upload and click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page

7.) The "block configuration" you'll see on each cirtl.net page

8.) Your email settings (your preference for receiving emails; plaintext or html)

9.) Your messaging and notifications settings

10.) Your contact settings -> whether or not others can contact you through your personal contact form. Personal contact forms allow people to contact you through the CIRTL Café without using your e-mail address.
