Here are some quick tips to help you navigate your profile page.
 

From your profile page, you can find:

• A summary of your contributions
• Your community reputation
• Badges you have earned
• Your latest posts
• Your personal details
• Your Activity, Followers and the users you Follow.

You can access your profile page by clicking on your avatar in the top-right corner and selecting My profile. (Your avatar always appears at the top of every page on the Community.)

Your community reputation
Below your username, you will see a progress bar. This represents your Community reputation – the more likes your content receives, the higher your bar is. This will also allow you to see how valuable another users’ Community reputation and input is.

Edit Your Profile
Access your profile and click on the edit profile button. (You can also select Settings from your avatar drop-down.)

Update your avatar by clicking Edit and following the prompts to load and save your image.

In this section, you can also edit your first name, last name, location, webpage, biography and forum signature.

Click on Save Changes to save any edits you have made!
