Thereafter

  • You can then use your username + password to log in (and ask the site to remember your details for next time).

If you forget your password or have any other problem in logging in email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (Currently a glitch in the automatic generation of replacement passwords - email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. rather than trying to get a new password automatically).

Edit profile

  • In the MEMBERS menu, click 'Edit My Profile'
  • Enter the relevant information under the various headings:
    • Personal Information
    • Contact Details
    • Areas of Expertise
    • Publications (selected – currently up to six)
    • Research projects (selected – currently up to six)
  • For best results
    • use single rather than double quotes
    • avoid copying and pasting formatted text (eg from a Word document - type in, or copy plain text)
  • Use the 'URL' box to refer readers to information online elsewhere if you wish
  • 'Photograph URL' box: browse to any online photo; right-click on it and select 'Properties' to see the URL for the photo; paste the URL into the box.
  • When finished, click ‘Save changes’. (Or to abandon changes navigate away from ‘Edit My profile’)

Edit visibility

    • Until you modify the form and click 'Save changes': none of your details will be visible in the online directory
    • When you click 'Save changes': all items set as 'Public' will become visible to anyone browsing the directory.
      (Please note most items will be 'Public' unless you modify the setting. Check that you are happy with your settings this before clicking 'Save Changes').

  • In the MEMBERS menu, click 'Edit My Visibility.'
  • ‘Global visibility settings’ have to be set to ‘visible’ for you to appear in the Directory.
  • The remaining settings are hopefully self-explanatory.
