How to Use and Edit Your Profile 

As in any website, your profile on grow2serve.net displays basic information about you. In addition, through the settings in your profile you can manage various preferences, such as your time zone and forum tracking.

Accessing Your Profile

Once you are logged into the site, you can view your profile by clicking on your name anywhere it appears on the site. You will also always see your name at the top, right-hand side of the page, where an icon for an image is also located.  The icon will change over to the image you upload for your profile picture once you upload a photo.

Editing Your Profile

Once you're on your profile page, click Edit Profile at the top left of the page under User Details.  Click Expand All at the top right to see all the fields available for editing. 

Required fields are marked with an asterisk and always need to be filled in. Apart from these, you can change your settings and fill in as much or as little information as you'd like to share with other participants in your courses. 

In the Description box, you can tell about your work, family, hobbies, etc. so others can get to know you. You will also want to add a picture, as it helps to see a human face along with the comments you share.

When you are done setting your preferences and filling in your information, click Update Profile at the bottom of the page to save your changes. 

Important: Setting Your Time Zone

This site automatically updates due dates/times based on the time zone in your profile. Thus, it is very important to set your current time zone so that the due dates/times appear correctly throughout your courses. You will find the Timezone field between Select a Country and the Description text box.

To have your time zone automatically adjust for Daylight Savings:

• For Eastern, choose “America/New_York”
• For Central, choose “America/Chicago”
• For Mountain, choose “America/Denver”
• For Pacific, choose “America/Los_Angeles”
• For locations outside of the US, choose a city in your time zone that has the same daylight savings time rules as your location.
