If you "edit" your details, it doesn'y allow access to change (eg) your email address & other bits of information...

How do you change all of your details???

Use the 'Login' option on the title bar of the forum. Once you've logged in you get an "Edit My Profile" option.

I've had to try this myself :-)

When you Login you should get two options, 'Modify Your Registration' and 'Edit Your Profile', you should be able to change all of the details from there.

But... it seems to depend on your profile! On my "Keith L" profile I can post a message, go to "Author Profile" within that message and I get an 'Edit' option at the top of the form, from there I can change profile information!

Just a note about duplicate messages - the forum pages don't always refresh correctly due to your local settings. If you post a message then try a browser "refresh" before posting it again, three duplicate messages seem to be common (I do clear them out if I see them). You can also read your own message and then hit the "Edit" option, at the bottom of this form is a 'Delete' option that allows you to kill your own duplicate messages.

When you login, you're temporarily presented with a "Welcome Back" screen that offers both options - you get approx 1-2secs before the screen automatically moves onto the Forum page

From Author Profile/edit, you can get to "Profile Information", but you can't get to password, email address & other bits - for that you need Modify User Registration...

Thanks for this I forgot the scroll bar to the right which brings the other options into view.
And I am supposed to know what I am doing!!!
