Profile (term)

A member's profile includes many key details about the member and can help them manage their own personal forum preferences and place their own Signature, Avatar, and personal contact information for that member. Usually, each member of the board will be able to view other users' profile unless the admin disallows this permission.

Viewing its own actual profile is a lot different from viewing other people's profiles, except for administrators or for members granted additional permissions.

Admin will see member's profiles the same as the member would see their own profile with even more settings than what the member would see. This allows the admin to control settings of any member.

The profile is broken down into three categories that divide a number of different settings and options.
