You can view and edit your information by clicking on My Membership in the tabs bar.
Username. You cannot change your Username manually. This is to prevent a troll from insulting someone and changing his name, or any other number of nefarious goings on. But we can change it for you. If you need your username changed, you can fill out the request here - just make sure to only fill out the left, New Username/Login, side. Leave the New Email Address on the right blank if you do not need it changed. We'll try to handle that within a day or three. Please try to give a 2nd and 3rd username choice in your request in case any are unavailable. We reserve the right to refuse a username choice if it contains a word or phrase that is derogatory or otherwise violates our Rules And Guidelines, or if it is too close to a staff member's username in order to prevent accidental or intentional impersonation.
Privacy. This setting allows you to control who has access to your information. You may manage your privacy settings by going to your username in the upper right corner > click to get the drop down > select User Settings. On that page, select the Privacy tab. On that page you may customize who can see and comment on things you started, replied, followed and following under your profile. You may select to show these things to Everyone (default), your Followers, or All Members.
Profile. The top portion of this page (User Settings > Profile) is the public information that is shown to everyone. Location is shown to everyone if you type anything in this box. Please don't put your street address here. All the fields from your First & Last Name down (including your mailing address) are NOT visible to anyone.
Signature. You can set and change the "signature" added to the bottom of all your posts by going to My Membership > My Settings. On that page, select the Account tab and then go down to the area that says Conversation Detail Options. On the right side, you will see the option Edit Post Signature. If you click that link, you will get a popup editor that will allow you to enter/edit your signature. We like it when folks put their BBQ gear & accessories in their signature- it's a great way to show off your stuff, plus it also helps us understand your perspective if you have cooking questions, that way we know what you're using. You can use images in your signature. Use the Upload Attachments button while editing your signature in the signature editor popup. Please keep our guidelines in mind.

PLEASE NOTE, if you need to change the email address that the newsletters go to ("HOT From The Pit!" and "Smoke Signals") YOU MUST MANUALLY MAKE THAT CHANGE YOURSELF. To do so, open up the newsletter, scroll to the bottom footer, and near where you see 'Unsubscribe' click on "Update Profile". This is the only way to change the address these newsletters go to, and we cannot do this for you.
