How to Update Your Community Profile/Privacy Settings

Back  to FAQs

What is my community profile used for?

Your community profile is used in the member directory located in the online community.  Your picture and primary address are pulled from your membership account, but all of the other information has to be added.  You can select what information is visible to others or opt-out of the directory if you choose.  The member directory is private to EMDRIA members only and can only be accessed by going to the online community site.

How Do I Update My Community Profile?

In the upper-right hand corner of the community website, you will see your profile picture or a shadow icon if you have not uploaded a photo to your member profile yet. 

Click on it to open a pop-up showing the PROFILE button.

After selecting the PROFILE button you will be taken to your EMDRIA community profile.

From this page you can make edits by clicking the blue "Add" button next to BIO, Specialty Areas, Job History, etc. and even provide links to your Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter page (if desired). 

The EMDRIA staff encourages you to spend a few minutes and provide members with more information about YOU!

How Do I Upload a Photo?

In the upper-right hand corner, you will see your profile picture or a shadow icon if you have not uploaded a photo to your member profile yet. Click on it to open a pop-up showing the PROFILE button. After selecting the PROFILE button, you will be taken to your EMDRIA community profile page.

On the left-hand side, you will see either your current profile photo or a shadow icon. Under the picture or icon, select ACTIONS and then select Change Picture. You may choose a file from your computer or import one from various social media or cloud-based platforms (choices are located on the left-hand side).

After selecting your desired picture, you will be asked to crop the photo. Move the highlighted box to a suitable spot on your profile picture and select Save.

If you decide to change or delete your photo at any time – navigate back to your EMDRIA community profile page and follow the above directions. 

How Do I Control What Other People Can See?

Navigate to your profile page, then select the “My Account” tab and choose “Privacy Settings” from the drop-down menu.

This will let you control what profile information is visible to whom in the community member directory and in discussion forum posts.

After you’ve made changes, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.
