Once you have registered, you can change settings to control information about yourself and also your use and experience within the community. To see what tweaks you can make to your account, log in and then click on my account in the navigation block (that's the one titled with your user name on the right-sidebar of each page). Click on the edit tab.

ACCOUNT SETTINGS:

password

Enter in a new password in both fields to set it. Drupal sends you a default password that is often hard to remember, so it is recommended that you change your password to something you can easily remember.

block configuration

There may be some blocks (chunks of content that are usually displayed in a left and/or right column) optional. You can enable and disable the display of these blocks by checking and unchecking the boxes next to them.

picture

You can upload here your virtual face or picture.

signature

You will be able to set a default signature. This will be copied into new comments for you automatically, but may still be edited.

contact form

You can choose here if to allow other users to contact you by e-mail via your personal contact form. Your e-mail address is not made public to other members of the community.

time zone

You may set your time zone. This will cause all dated content on the site to display in local time, according to the offset you enter here.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS:

Aside from the account settings tab, you may also see additional tabs that allows you to enter more informations about yourself:

general info

Some more general informations about yourself

riding info

What, where, how you ride.

location map

You can specify here through an interactive map your actual location. Other members of the community can then see where you are riding at this time.
