Plain-Text or "Linked"?

If your name appears as a link on the website (i.e. clicking it takes you to another page), read on below.

However, if your name appears as plain text (e.g. in the abstract of a Talk), please contact the owner(s) of the page (shown after "If you have a question about this talk/list, please contact:"), and ask them to edit it for you.

"Linked" Names

There are two central places where linked names are stored - they are sourced from:

  • EITHER: The speaker info customised on a per-event (i.e. per-Talk) basis
    • This is always shown next to a "person" icon, on a line by itself just above the date/time and venue info
    • This shows the name (and optionally, affiliation) for the Speaker of a Talk
    • This is stored separately for each Talk
  • OR: A user's profile
    • ALL names other than the "speaker" case described above is sourced from a user's profile page
    • This includes the contact names shown after the text If you have a question about this talk/list, please contact:

Speaker Info

If you would like the way your name or affiliation appears as "speaker info", the Talk itself will need to be edited - this can be done by the speaker themselves, or by a user with edit rights to that talk. After logging into the website and going to the specific Talk page with your name on, there should be a "Edit this talk" link near the top. The edit page has a "Speaker's name and affiliation" field.

All other linked names: User Profile

If you would like to change the way a linked name appears anywhere else on the website, you need to update your profile page. Log in to the website, click "Edit your details" from the left-hand sidebar.

If you would like to change the way somebody else's linked name appears, they should log in and update their own profile.
