Profile

Profile Overview

Finebush Forum allows you to fill out a profile which tells people about you. You can have your name, age, instant messenger information, personal picture, a link to your website and more.

Editing Profile

To change your profile, click the "Profile" option in the forum menu.

Profile Options

Password

Passwords have no restrictions, but we recommend that you type at least 6 characters, using a combination of characters and numbers. Both password fields must be the same, to check that you typed it correctly. Example: xd8bill

Name

This is your real or displayed name. This is what will be shown throughout the forum, in place of your username. Example: John Doe

Email Address

This must be valid to register, and things may be sent to this email address by the forum, such as topic notifications. It is also required if you ever wish to retreive a forgotton password. Example: me@mydomain.com

Gender

You get two choices. Male or Female ;) This is an optional field to provide other users with your gender.

Birthdate

Your birthdate, in MMDDYYYY form. The birthday is only used to ensure that you are old enough to register on the forum. It also allows Finebush Forum to display special items on your birthday. Example: 07  31 1981

Location

This is an optional field. You may type your current location or where you live in this field. It is displayed in your profile for other visitors to see.

Time Offset

This is a + or - number to add or subtract to the current time showing on the forum. The forum's server may be in a different time zone than your computer. Example: Forum time shows 13:28, but your time is 14:28. Time Offset would be +1

Signature

This is a brief message or list of urls's that you may type in. YaBBC code is allowed in your signature. Signatures are shown at the bottom of each of your posts. Example: | my site | my other site |
