How do I.....

Question

With the new social networking aspect of this site, I can no longer access my standard, forum profile. I wanted to change my signature that goes along with my posts but can't find the link that does this.

Any thoughts?

We're in the process of removing the buttons from the forums for the most part.  If you've entered the data, you'll see the information on your profile.

Nate -
We've removed the old "profiles" and created much more complete ones.  In addition, we have altered the way members can create a signature.

If you go to the DASHBOARD and click on EDIT PROFILE, you'll be able to change your signature.  Just make sure you're on the BASICS tab and scroll to the bottom of the screen.

You'll see a blank called "FORUM SIGNATURE" with space to enter information.  Use this to place info on the 3rd line of your signature on the forum.  Below that, you'll see "Use my name and company in my forum signature"  By selecting this, you'll have your name as your first line and your company name as your 2nd line on the sig.

Feel free to use the 3rd line for your company website or phone number.

We do not give much space for a sig in order to direct people to the profile of others.  This may change in the future, but for now, that is what you get.

I hope that helps.

Ahh. Josh beat me by 3 minutes...

He must type faster than I do... 
Or maybe he has answered this question before.

You now do it from the home page at... www.BiggerPockets.com

You also have to log in and then click on "DashBoard" and then on "Edit Profile" in the links on the left.

There is a tutorial here...

Why won't the tabs below my signature come up?  For example, I've typed in my LinkedIn name under "contact" on the dashboard but the LinkedIn button hasn't shown up.  Same is true for the "www" button.

Apparently I didn't look too hard... it was right there !!
