Navigating the Settings Page: You can navigate Settings using the stacked list of tab titles with icons in the box on the left hand side. The starting tab is Overview, and below that the 2nd and 3rd tabs are Email Address and Password. These tabs are where you're taken when you click the corresponding options in the Overview tab, however these provide more detail about their respective options. This also applies to the 6th tab Display Name. The rest of the tabs in that list are unique. 4. Security and Privacy (Online Status): The Security and Privacy tab is there for you to control whether or not you're visible to other members when you're browsing the forums.

You'll be asked to re-enter your password before changing this. 5. Recently Used Devices: If you suspect your account has been compromised (hacked) the Recently Used Devices tab is one way to check.

Or to the most recent thing you haven't read yet? Choose that setting here. 7. Signatures: The last tab is Signatures, and signatures are the custom content you will see at the bottom of all of a given members posts. This tab is where you can create your own, but before you do make sure you check the Guidelines, because there are rules regarding the size and content of these. You can also choose to ignore all signatures on the forum including your own using the toggle titled "View signatures?". 8. Other Settings - Notification Settings: As mentioned in step 2, the Other Settings menu on the right hand side in the Overview tab has 3 options, the first of which is Notification Settings. Clicking this brings you to a very self explanatory menu that allows you to control how you're notified when content is posted on the site. 9. Other Settings - Edit Profile: The second option in Other Settings is Edit Profile. Clicking this brings up the same form that was already covered in steps 5-6 of the PUBLIC PROFILE section above this section. Refer to that for more details. 10. Other Settings - Ignored Users: This is exactly what it sounds like, the good ol' block a motherfucker option. A lot of times this is the quickest and easiest way to solve a problem.
