Please update your profile when information changes. It is important that your current email address is correct because it is used when you subscribe to forum and have emails automatically sent when new messages are posted.

There are several settings that are accessible from your profile that will help make your use of Share more productive.

• Email format: You can choose to have emails sent from Share in Plain text format or Pretty HTML format. HTML format will include images and the color scheme in emails, but will be slightly larger in size.

• Forum auto-subscribe: If you select yes for this it will mean that when you post a message to a forum, you will be subscribed to that forum and receive email copies of all messages for that forum. You may unsubscribe from forums if you wish as well.

• Email digest type: You may choose to receive all emails from Share in one daily message. There is also the option to receive either the complete message or just the Subjects from forums you subscribe to.

• Forum tracking: This is a useful option to enable. If it is enabled on your Share course it will highlight unread forum messages so you can easily see what is new.
