The Profile page is where your personal profile and all of your added applications will be displayed.
A User Profile picture will be created when you first sign up and then will be displayed throughout the entire site and at the top right side in your profile details. You may edit it through the edit button. Under the Profile details, shows the status updates of your Friends and a button to list all your friends.Your profile name will display some details pertaining to your membership status.
- Karma Points
- Member Since
- Last Online Date
- Profile view(s)
Directly below them, there is a small text link that will allow you to update your current "status". Such as what are you currently up to, on vacation, in the forums, chat room...etc. This "status" board will also update you with any incoming message or friend request.
Moving on, you will find several menu buttons each with some drop down menu options.
First button is called "Home" I think we can assume that we know what this is, however its not the home page of the website but rather a home page of "the community" at a glance. Its simply an overview of what the entire community is up too. Some of the text will be highlighted in colors, clicking on them will take you to that update.
Next menu option is "Profile" This is where you can manage and display your community profile, edit your options and privacy settings including all your added applications. You can think of it as Your Personal Home Page. Every time the page reloads the home page is updated based on current events. From there you can quickly get an overview of everything you have recently done on the site, and like any color highlighted text it will link directly to your activities making navigation quick and easy.
Then there is the "Friends" button which will allow you to invite, manage and create new friends from the Screen Printers Network. This is a powerful feature and can quickly help you to build your network.First you must "Invite" a person to be a friend, once you do this anon site message is added to that persons profile page and they will have decide if they will accept you as a friend. Once a person accepts your offer, they are added to your profile and their location will also display on the Google Map inside your profile page. The map will show all your friends from anywhere in the world with a little red "tool-tip", clicking on it will display that friends picture, name, location and Karma Points.
We then have a menu button called "Applications" These are a listing of all the really cool, and functional features that you can add to your profile. While a couple of these applications are turned on by default...called "Core Applications" most are ones that you will need to add yourself. Its real quick to add any of the applications by simply clicking the "add" button. Once you have added any application to your profile, it will then display under your profile. Please Note: Most application will have privacy settings that you can control. We strongly encourage you to check the settings for each. You may at any time alter the settings, or even remove any application you desire at any time. We also encourage you to check the application menu periodically as we plan to continually add more as we build the community.
Other than above, the Profile page also display other details.
First is the update of the users latest activities. Continued with the list of applications that you have added on.
Member Points:
The Points system is a user rewards points keeper used throughout the Screen Printers Network. It reflects how active you are in network. Points will only be activated only once you have uploaded an avatar picture in your user profile. Otherwise, you will not be included in the points rewards system. Note that there are also actions that can deduct your Points, so if you know your actions are not going to be productive to the Community you may wish to think about it first.
Member Groups:
Under the groups tab, shows which groups you currently join. You will only be able to see the Groups if you have added the Groups application to your profile. Go to Application ---> Edit, and add the Groups application. Once you have activated Groups, you can then begin to network with other Groups, or make your own. Some groups are private, so you may have to request to join them while other groups may allow everyone to participate.
My Photos:
Shows images you have uploaded to your Profile. You will only see images if you have added the Photos application. Go to Application ---> Edit, and add the Photos application. Once activated you must first create an "album" to categorize them into. After that you can upload your pictures and even add comments about them.
My Wall:
In the Wall, you and your friends (at current time of writing, others too) are able to leave a comment on your Profile Page. You will only see the comments if you have added the Walls application. Go to Application ---> Edit, and add the Walls application. The Wall is kind of an "Up To Date"review of whats going on throughout the Community.
