Due to recent changes in Adobe’s data protection policies, we had switched the privacy settings to Private. You can, however, switch it back to the previous state. Setting the name to Public makes your profile name more meaningful, and is easier to share the profile link with your name with prospective clients and employers.
Changing your profile image is easy. Follow the steps below:
Switch to Public profile
To the right of the page, click User Profile.
On the menu that appears, click Settings.
To change the privacy settings, choose the option Public.
To save the changes, click Save.
Edit your profile name
After you’ve changed the privacy settings, follow the steps below to change the name of your profile.
On your profile drop-down list, click your name.
To the bottom-right of the screen, click the button, as shown below. You can now change your profile name and this name will be displayed throughout the portal.
To save your changes, click Save.
Make your profile picture visible
Go to Captivate forum.
On the page, click your user avatar, and then click Edit Communities Profile.
In the Avatar section, click Add another avatar.
Choose a photo that you’d like to represent as your avatar.
You can then upload the photo and crop it accordingly.
After you’ve uploaded your avatar, click Finished.
NOTE: It may take a while for your avatar to get approved.
Thank you for your post. It was the first post I consulted before interacting with the elearning community 🙂
thx
Are elearning.adobe.com and forums.adobe.com one entity or separate ones? I’m asking because when I changed my avatar on forums.adobe.com, it affected my avatar here. But as for points, they are separate entities. At least, it is how I see it.
And mine is still a default one. I can only see my avatar in my account. The forum comment box still has a default one.
Mine didn’t change either.
Thank you! I was wondering how to change that.
Thx. I was trying to change my avatar and this is exactly the information I needed.
But first have to check how to clear my browser cache. I’ve never done that. I’ll find a tutorial. :-/
Ok, I’ll try.
Piotr, Please update us if this fixes, else we will investigate if it’s something else. Thanks!
I have one more question, if you can help. Ho do you use the incentive to prolong your trial version ? From what I read I can use my trial 3 months more, bu don’t know what to do to to activate it. ?
You must have already got email on complimentary serial number, anyway will send the email again..!
Please, do. My front line defense system identified your messages as a potential phishing attack (for some reasons). Now it’s unavailable for me. If you’d be so kind as to resend it I’d be grateful.
we have sent the email yesterday. Please do check. If you still haven’t got – please write to me – shambu@adobe.com
My avatar has been approved, but it’s not visible under my name. Have I forgotten about something ?
Piotr, it could be because of your browser cache. Could you clear them and retry?
Ok, I forgot to mention that the avatar is visible when I go to my profile, but isn’t visible next to my name in my comments. But Anyway I cleared the cache of my browser.
Good stuff. Thanks.
Thank you, Chuck.
