How do I change how my name appears on the website
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.
