how do we create a profile?
Go to the page where it says “Last 50 Changes.”
Find your last post (which will be this one above).
Beside it you will see your name (or post again with a real name) and then just click on it and write your portfolio….
I mean “profile.” (of course!)
“Last 50 Changes” page is available from the home page.
On the left sidebar.
or, do this:
http://www.fluwikie2.com/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.YourName
You will get a red Profiles.YourName with a ?. Click and write your profile.
First post. This is a test. Seemed like a good thread to wet my toe.
I am making headway, but my profile post doesn’t look like others in the heading. Can a moderator, or others, advise?
I’m not even confident it will survive the night!
Need help. I clicked on MAIN. Then clicked on LAST 50
Found my very recent post and clicked on MY OWN NAME. The open page came up and I knocked out a profile, no sweat.
Well, a little. I couldn’t budge the highest heading NAME to put my name in. I then hit SAVE.
ButI couldn’t see how to get what I wrote onto the profiles list of Author names… I’m kind of in Limbo…
Can anybody find my effort, set it on right path?
Nikolai, I made one here for you. Your name with the --- in it confuses the system. ;-)
I sympathise with ‘the system’ for I find computer technology quite at the margins of my grasp! Thanks heaps, Dem, it was a little frustrating, a little embarrassing!
I read BroncoBills full profile and was tempted to run on a bit—though I guess it’s like the ‘piece of string’, no set length or format?
leaving your email is entirely optional.

Wish far, far more contributors would post even a brief PROFILE. Nothing revealing your secret location and prep status to possible predators or nosy neighbours….
Be nice and help both sense of community and assessment of where the poster was coming from, geographically—just the nation and urban/suburban/rural would make a huge difference in assessing relevance of the given advice! People say what they are doing re, eg, water or security or the cold, but readers have no idea if they’re in a highrise city condo or in a cabin in a vast forest!
Also, you can always edit it yourself and even cancel, if you distrust your posting.
There are more profiles at
http://www.fluwikie.com/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.YourName.
Having them on the ‘other server’ means this communication server has back-up contact data.
am posting here now so I can create a profile — hope it works!
WELL DONE!
thanks! it wasn’t at all difficult — sometimes I surprise myself!

NS1 - you copied my profile from the old wiki to the new wiki profiles!! Thanks so much, I had no idea how to do it:-)
Uh, that was supposed to be a smiley face at the end…??
Come on, folks, don’t be bashful. Just identifying your country would mean a lot in interpreting your comments. With 300 million to blend in with, what evil person is going to trace you down in a pandemic and steal your goodies?
The original reason for my author name was to warn people I don’t know much about American ways, conditions, attitudes and to take my postings with a block of salt…
So far very successful—I’m quite ignored! <smile>
We’re on a new server here and you will have to repeat your old profile to get it up where people can see it. It ain’t hard and it adds to community. Put your smiling face where the rest of us can see it.
Dem- when I go here: http://www.fluwikie2.com/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.YourName as you suggested, it takes me to the profile for “Cinda” Help! :)
I have posted before, but would like to add my name.
Lauralou, (and everyone!)
What you need to do is type/paste in the link below, but change the “Lauralou” part to your exact webname. (except you, Lauralou - use the link below))
Dem, sorry, I did a test and think I created a profile — you can delete it if it shows up as a real page - “manysuns”
needless to say, creating profiles was not what this software was written for!
Lauralou now has her own proflie, and so does Cinda.
When I said put in YourName, I meant ‘your name’. ;-)
Here’s mine:
Great progress. Bumped…for encouragement!
I’ve fixed up mine too http://www.fluwikie2.com/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.Aziraphale

Thank You! I tried to post my profile and then couldn’t find it. I wasn’t sure if I had really done it or not. It’s probably really an easy thing to do, but I couldn’t figure it out- must have OD’d on stupid pills that day!!!
I tired your suggestion Dem but got a 404 Error Message. Can’t you just transfer mine over somehow..Obviously, I just don’t get it, or my computer is stupid. :)
Snowhound1 – at 18:21 --- Post a reply to someone in the forums, then go back into the Last 50 Changes list and click on your name. That will take you to your Profile page where you can type in anything you want. Then click on Save…that’s it.
Ok, this may be an ignorant question that is answered somewhere right in front of my face…but where do I go to read profiles? I just created mine, but am stuck now! Thanks
Sweet!
Put:
group=Profiles
into the Search field and click on Go. That will give you a list of the all the profiles on this server.
Thank you, pogge

This might be simple:
If you don’t have a profile yet, you can make one instantly with this link below. Just copy this link into your browser address bar and then type your name into the place where it says “Test.” Then go/click “return” or whatever you do.
Voila! It should take you to a page that will allow you to edit it and enter.

Thanks for the link, Dem! I kept looking for the ‘50 changes’ page I saw mentioned but didn’t realize until this thread was bumped that it was on the home page instead of the forum pages (duh). I’m official now. ;o)

easy squeezy ricewiki…thanks
Ok. So I am trying to set up a profile…’cause I can’t resist posting from time to time…
A lurker here, setting up a profile!
Bump.
To repeat ricewiki’s link:
http://www.fluwikie2.com/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.Test
But as soon as you get there, you need to click into the address bar in your browser and change “Test” to your nickname. Otherwise you’re going to save your profile under the name Test.
Or.
As soon as you post to a thread, go to the Last 50 Changes page and look for your nickname with a little red question mark trailing it. Click on it. You’ll find yourself in the editor creating a Profile page named after you and you can just write your profile and save it. If there’s no question mark, then your Profile already exists but you can still click on your nickname to edit it if you want to change something.

Bumped for new visitor RNeville
Hey all---remember these? Profiles!! I’ve been noticing a lot of folks posting, and they still have their little red question marks next to their names…LET’S MAKE US A PROFILE!!
All it takes is YOU clicking on your name in The Last 50 list, after you post a message. That will take you to the Edit page with your handle and you can enter as much or as little information as you like. Tell us a bit about yourself. We’re not looking for specific personal information, just something general like what part of the world are from, why you’re here, etc…
Or, if my instructions don’t make any sense (and that happens!!), see pogge–at 17:09 above…
Still haven’t figured it out. I’m a computer dummie!
bump
Still trying!
Thanks.
