How to change your username on here.

Go to "Settings" which is in the list in the far right hand column of this page...under where you sign out of N4M's.

Your profile page will open.

Under "Profile" …Username is the third item down.

Clear the info and type in your new username.

Once you do that make sure to click "Save" at the bottom right of the page.

It is most likely in your URL…web address…as well, as it auto fills with your original username.  You must change this manually after the initial fill. It won’t automatically do it every time you change your username.

Normally, changing your web address can be a problem as it means the original link to your Profile page won’t work anymore.  It’s really not too much of one as far as your Profile page as it is not a common link that you would give out. It doesn’t change your Profile page any though.

Think of it as getting a new phone number…you are still who you are but how people reach you is different.

That’s why I am picky about the correct PIR date for the PIR GROUPS. If it is wrong and I have to change the web address that means that any links to it that I have already posted won’t work…and then I would have to trace back (if I even could) to find them and post the new one.

To change your URL/Web Address (You can match it to your username or something different from your username.):

How to change your URL:

First check your username in the address bar at the top of the screen.

Click “My Page” in the TABS at the top of the page just under the N4M’s Masthead.

Look up at the top right in the address bar.

At the end of the "http" when you pull your Profile page up your username is at the end of the address.

Go to "Settings" which is in the list in the far right hand column of this page...under where you sign out of N4M's.

Once your profile page comes up go to the left and you will see a list of options.

Click "My Page". The third item down is "Address”.

In the box clear the info and type in whatever you want to be at the end of your URL. Your new username is the best idea.

Again click "Save".

How to change/Add your Profile picture

First you have to have the picture you want to use downloaded onto your computer.

Next go to “Settings”.  “Settings” is in the right hand column underneath where you sign out of Navy 4 Moms.

That will open up to “My Settings” page. Profile will be the page you are on.

Click “Browse”.

It should open up into your “Pictures” Library. If not, then click Pictures to open it.

Click on the picture you want to upload, it should load it to the “File” box.

Click “Open”. It will upload it to a box and ask you to select the “visible region of your photo”.  Adjust it how you like it and then click “Save”. It will then save the picture to the small box.

Now you have to save the changes you have made. Scroll down to the far right of the Profile page and click “Save”.

Then you’ll get a message saying that “You have successfully saved your changes…go to “My Page”.

How to change your Profile Page settings:

You can make your Profile Page (My Page - third tab over at the very top under the N4M banner) viewable only to your friends. There are other privacy settings too.

Click "Settings". “Settings” is over to the far right underneath your username where you sign out of N4M's.

It will take you to your Profile page where you can change your picture, username, “about me” comments etc.

To the left on your Profile Page is a list.

Click Privacy. It will take you to your “Privacy Settings” Page.

Under “Visibility” (the very top of the list) the first item is:

My profile page and friends can be viewed by...

O   Anyone

O   Members

O   Just My Friends

I would choose “Just my Friends” for Boot at least…you can go back and change this anytime…then go ahead, read through and change the rest your settings to how you would like them.

If something doesn't work or read right, please let me know. A "second eye" always helps! ;-)
