The profile settings form — edit your personal information, upload a profile photo, and save changes. Locked fields (like Member Type) are managed by your admin.

Profile Settings

The Profile section of Settings is where you manage all of your personal information. To get there, click Settings in the sidebar, then select Profile.

Here's what you can typically edit:

Name & Display Name

Your legal first and last name, plus an optional display name (nickname) that appears throughout fellos in place of your full name.

Email Address

Your primary email used for login and notifications. Changing this may require verification of the new address.

Phone Number

Your contact phone number. This is visible on your profile to other members (based on privacy settings).

Address

Your mailing address — street, city, state, and ZIP code. Some organizations use this for mailings or geographic grouping.

Date of Birth

Used for birthday announcements in the activity feed (if your admin has enabled this feature).

Custom Fields

Any extra info fields your organization has defined — certifications, equipment details, shirt size, and more.

Good to know

Some fields may be locked by your admin, meaning you can see the value but can't change it yourself. Locked fields typically include your member type, organization assignment, and officer roles. These appear grayed out with a lock icon. If you need one of these changed, contact your organization's admin.

Uploading Your Profile Picture

Your profile picture is one of the most visible parts of your fellos presence — it appears next to every post you make, in the member directory, on your profile, and in group discussions.

  1. Go to Settings → Profile.
  2. Click the camera icon on your current profile picture or the colored initials circle.
  3. Select an image from your device. Supported formats are JPG and PNG, with a maximum file size of 5MB.
  4. The image will be cropped to a circle automatically. Square photos work best for the most balanced result.
  5. Your new photo appears immediately across all of fellos — no need to save separately.
Tip

Choose a clear, well-lit photo where your face is visible. This helps other members recognize you, especially in larger organizations where not everyone knows each other personally.

Changing Your Password

To update your password, go to Settings → Password. You'll need to provide your current password for security verification before setting a new one.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Password.
  2. Enter your current password in the first field.
  3. Enter your new password in the second field.
  4. Enter the new password again in the confirmation field to make sure you typed it correctly.
  5. Click Update Password to save.
Important

Use a strong, unique password that you don't use for other websites or services. A good password is at least 12 characters and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. If you forget your password, you can always reset it from the login page using the "Forgot Password" link.

Group Signature

Your group signature is a block of text that's automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make in discussion groups. It's a common way to identify yourself or add a personal touch to your messages.

To set up your group signature:

  1. Go to Settings → Group Signature.
  2. Type your desired signature in the text box. You can use multiple lines.
  3. Click Save to apply it.

Common things people include in their signatures:

  • Their name and display name (e.g., "Alex 'Roadrunner' Kim")
  • Their officer title or role (e.g., "President, Metro Chapter")
  • A short quote, motto, or tagline
  • Their location or chapter name
Tip

Your group signature is entirely optional. If you leave it blank, no signature will be added to your posts. Keep it short — a line or two is ideal. Very long signatures can make group conversations harder to read.

General Tips

A few things to keep in mind about your settings:

  • Changes save individually. Each settings section (Profile, Password, Group Signature) has its own Save button. Make sure you click Save after making changes in each section.
  • Email changes may need verification. If you change your email address, fellos may send a verification email to the new address. Until you verify, the old email remains active for login and notifications.
  • Your admin sees what you see. Any information you enter in your profile is visible to your organization's administrators, even if it's hidden from other regular members by privacy settings.
  • Some changes create history entries. Changing certain profile fields (like your name) may create an entry in your membership history for record-keeping purposes.
