Help - Changing Your Account Settings

Once you have registered with a Drupal-based site, you can change settings to control information about yourself and also your use and experience of a Drupal site. To see what tweaks you can make to your account, log in and then click on my account in the navigation block (that's the one titled with your user name). Click on the edit tab.

Account Settings

You may see a different collection of settings than is presented here, depending on what features have been enabled on your site.

Password

Enter in a new password in both fields to set it. Drupal sends you a default password that is often hard to remember, so it is recommended that you change your password to something you can easily remember.

Block Configuration

The site administrator may make some blocks (chunks of content that are usually displayed in a left and/or right column) optional. You can enable and disable the display of these blocks by checking and unchecking the boxes next to them.

Signature

If comments are enabled, you will be able to set a default signature. This will be copied into new comments for you automatically, but may still be edited.

Time Zone

Your site administrator may allow users to set their time zone. This will cause all dated content on the site to display in local time, according to the offset you enter here.
