How to change your privacy settings:

To change the visibility of your profile (to make it viewable by other members or to hide it from the directory):

1. Go to Profile under My Account
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Profile Privacy
4. You have the option to have your name be visible or not, for members to be able to search for you or not, and to have your profile visible or not. You can choose to have only your name visible, but no profile. 
5. The first question asks if you want to be listed in the members directory – click yes to be listed and no to not be listed. This option has to do with allowing your name to be visible in the directory. 
6. The second question asks if you want to be listed in the member search – if you click yes, members can search for you. If you click no, members will not be able to search for you.
7. The third question is who do you want to be able to see your profile. If you choose Everyone, then all members will be able to see your profile when they are logged in. The second option is logged in users only. In our case, only logged in users can see the directory, so this option is the same as “everyone”. The third option is to make your profile only visible to you (private).

To reset your password, on the login page at the bottom there is a link that says “Lost your password?” It’s underneath the second red button. That link will take you to the Lost Password page to reset your password if you’ve lost it.

Your second option is to use the “Magic Link” which is the first red button that says “Email me a login link”. You would simply click that button and then on the next page put in your email address (the one you’ve registered with on the site), and click the “Email me a login link” button. You should then receive an email with a link that will log you in to the site without having to use a password.
