the control panel by clicking on "user cp" in the top

something like a homepage for you in the forums. You'll be able
to see any private messages waiting for you (see separate handout
on the private messaging system) and you'll be able to track your
subscribed forums and threads (more on subscribing below).
2. Click on Edit Profile in the control panel navigation
bar. Here, you can change some of the information about yourself
that you entered in the registration screen, such as signature,
ICQ number, or homepage.
3. Edit Options in the control panel navigation bar lets
you change options that affect your configuration of the forums.
Options include logging in, messaging, and thread views. You'll
find brief explanations of these options on this page.
4. Change Password in the control panel lets you change
your forums password.
5. Edit Buddy List lets you control your buddy list for
private messaging. Please see the separate handout on the private
messaging system.
6. Edit Ignore List also controls the private messaging
system. Here, you can list people from whom you don't want to
receive private messages.
7. Finally, the Private Messaging page keeps track of
your private messages. See also the separate handout
on the private messaging system.
