Filling In PROFILE Page and ``Friendly Passwords''

When you log in to the mwforum Ethics Message Board for the first time, you should enter personal information on the PROFILE page. Login and click on the ``Options'' link at the top of the FORUM page. On the PROFILE page, you can type in a more easily remembered password if you wish to do so. Also, be sure to enter your real name so that you can be credited for your posts. If you wish to hide your email address, check the appropriate box.

Important: Unless you enter your real name on your PROFILE page your posts cannot be tabulated, and your posts cannot be credited. Any information entered here is available to the anyone in the class or, for that matter, anyone in the world. You need not give out any personal information if you choose not to do so.

If you click ``Options'' at the top of any page after you have logged in, you can find out how many times you have posted as well as find out about other personal data. To do so, click ``Info'' on the same line as your username on your PROFILE page. See the composite screenshot in Figure 5. Next, click on the ``Posts'' link for a list of all your messages. Also, if you wish, as noted above, you can type in a different, more friendly password. Remember to scroll way-down to the bottom of the page and click ``Change'' or your changes will not permanent.
