    Hello, I wanted to update some of my profile entries (such as signature, occupation, etc.), but they no longer seem to be editable. I don't know if this is a general feature of the forum after the latest upgrades or just... my lameness in figuring out exactly where to click.

    Sorry, if the issue has already been addressed, but all my searches for a similar question in the FAQs and relevant forums returned nothing useful.

    If you click on your name in the top line of the page it should take you to your profile and then you can edit things.
    If this doesn't work I think you should contact one of the Admin team to see if they can sort it out for you.

      Thanks for the prompt. Before posting this thread I tried several times and clicked on all the tabs comprising 'my profile'.

      But, as I said, the entries underneath are not editable, so I'm stuck with the old info.

      When you hover the mouse over your name, go to "Personal Details" , "Signature" etc instead of "Your Profile Page" - that should get you to pages where you can edit. Like this.....

        I would contact the admin staff about it, They'll be able to fix it for you.

          @Michael Hewett , thank you, but I 've just seen @JennyJB's reply and I know what to do.
          By the looks of them, how could I guess that the left-column items were interactive?!?
          I used to click on my name and expected to open an editable version of my account...
          I'm all up-to-date now. And my current garden album is in my signature! :D
