Edit Profile allows you to change your password, change your email address, change your title, add a birthday, a homepage URL, and other information if you wish.

Edit Profile Picture is the photo you will see of your profile other than the Avatar you use for posting.
The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

Edit Avatar is the photo you will see of your profile, when you are posting.
The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 97.7 KB (whichever is smaller).

You can use an image from another site (Option 1) like Gravatar. Or you can upload a photo, using the browse button.
Proper sizing applies, so please see this for assistance: http://sawatdeenetwork.com/v4/showthread.php?16983-Avatars

Edit Signature allows you to add a caption or a photo at the bottom of each post.
The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).

Profile Privacy allows you to control what information you have loaded about yourself with who you wish.

Edit email and password This function is the same as what you have in Edit Profile.

General Settings are the same as your Forum Actions settings.

Edit Connections allows you to connect to your social network (Facebook)

Edit Ignore List is the same as your Ignore list, if there are members or conversations you don't want to see.

Event Reminders As we populate more information into the site, you may want to use the calendar to keep track of what's going on.

Attachments should let you see what you've uploaded to the site in the past, in a post or anywhere else.

Some of you may like these additional controls and adjustments. The site will look much sharper, when more members start to use their Avatars or load personal signatures into their profiles. If you have any feedback or questions on this thread or it's content, please feel free to ask!
