Thanks -SpectraL, this will be good to reference for new users with questions. I'm going to sticky this for future reference.
For those who are wondering how to explore your extended settings on your own:
- click the 'profile' drop-menu at the top
- either click 'profile' again or click one of the menu fields displayed (summary, account settings, forum profile)
- from the new profile settings page, click the 'modify profile' drop-down menu
From there, you will find several fields that will allow you to edit your settings. Popular options to review include:
- themes (look and layout)
- email alerts/notifications (notifications)
- show quick reply by default (look and layout)
