What is my Community Profile?

Your Community Profile represents you in our community forum. It’s your community identity, showing any information you choose to display.

Here’s what you can do with your Community Profile:

• Edit your Display Name
  Choose the name used for your profile title and other public areas of our site.
• Set your Account Handle (@name)
  Update the name shown next to your posts and used by other members to mention (tag) you.
• Add a Public Bio
  Share a little about yourself, your interests, or your role in the community.
• Set an Avatar
  Upload a profile image to display next to your name instead of the default one.
• Add Social Networks
  Link your social profiles so other members can find you.
• View Your Activity and Bookmarks
  Keep track of your forum posts and replies, or view your favourites.
• Mange notifications and subscriptions
  Mute/unmute mentions and choose which topics to subscribe to.

💡Tip: Your Shop Account (used for purchases) and your Community Profile (for forum participation) are managed separately. The Shop Account keeps track of your orders and checkout details, while your Community Profile is all about your presence in our forum. Your basic account information, such as your name and email address, is consistent across all areas of our site.
