Plain-Text or "Linked"?
If your name appears as a linked name or even just as a linked email address e.g. crsid@cam.ac.uk 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 (talk/list manager) contact names shown after the text If you have a question about this talk/list, please contact:
Speaker Info - per-Talk
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 - sourced from User Profile
If you would like to change the way your (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.
