Edit Public Profie

[+Grandmagogo]

I am looking for help to edit my public profile. It seems like this should be an easy fix but I haven't been able to figure it out. One of the options on mine is View Forum posts. I have never seen that on anyone else's profile. I have also seen send email or send message option on other profiles. How do I put that on mine? Thanks for any help.

Have you tried clicking that little pen, with 'Edit' next to it?

This option does not appear on your own profile (no need to e-mail yourself!) when you look at it. I can see it on your profile:

Everyone else sees those on your profile, but you don't because it doesn't make sense to send a message or email to yourself.

For many years I've had a map of the states and countries of which we've found geocaches. On our public profile, the countries map has disappeared, and I can't figure out how to edit the United States map. Can anyone help with this? Perhaps I need to get a new kind of map so that I can post which states and countries we have found caches. Thanks for your help.

The maps are still there - on your public profile, go to the Statistics page, and then the Maps tab.  There is a world map with highlighting for the countries you have cached in, and then I have a US map showing which states I have found caches in.  Beside the map is a table with #'s for each country and then each state.  Are you not seeing that on your profile or others?  I can see maps on your profile?

 

You can probably do a more customized map with Project-gc or GSAK macros, but I haven't played with those options.

Are you talking about the GSAK, or other third-party maps ?  We lost ours an "update" or two ago. See if anyone on the GSAK site can fix it I guess...

Thanks CAVino Gal for reminding me about the maps under statistics. I forgot about those. The map, however, I was trying to update is on my profile page, but now that I know about the statistics map, I'm less concerned about the map on my profile page.  Also thanks to cerberus1 for the input. Is the map on my profile page a GSAK? What is GSAK?  Thanks for your help.

The map on your initial profile page is one that you added to your profile, somehow.  It is a google map, or at least references the Google Maps API in the URL for the image.  It was manually added to your profile at some point.  I have project-gc stats on the front page of my public profile, for example.  Others have other information, but it is all information that you add yourself by editing your profile page.
