Changing your account settings

Once you have registered with The Garden Wall, you can change settings to control information about yourself and also your use and experience of the site.

To see what tweaks you can make to your account, log in and then click on my account in the navigation block (that's the one titled with your user name).

Click on the edit tab.

 

You can now change your Account Settings.

password
Enter in a new password in both fields to set it.

 

picture
You can upload a small picture of yourself, or an avatar.  This picture will be displayed on your Forum posts etc.  You don't have to do this but it kind of gives you a bit of an online personality.

block configuration
The site administrator may make some blocks (chunks of content that are usually displayed in a left and/or right column) optional. You can enable and disable the display of these blocks by checking and unchecking the boxes next to them.

signature
If comments are enabled, you will be able to set a default signature. This will be copied into new comments for you automatically, but may still be edited.

time zone
Your site administrator may allow users to set their time zone. This will cause all dated content on the site to display in local time, according to the offset you enter here.
