How do I edit my profile?

To edit your profile, just click the My Spotted tab. Then, click on My Spotted Profile that appears under the tab. Choose one of the options that you want to work with:

  • My Avatar This edits the avatar, which is the icon that appears in your dashboard.
  • My Username This edits your username.
  • Note: Changing your user name will not affect your login user name.

  • My Mobile Emails This is where you can add the email address of your mobile device.
  • My Bio This is where you can edit your bio.

What is an avatar, and how do I change mine?

An avatar is an image that you can use to represent yourself visually on Spotted. It will appear as an icon in your dashboard, and it is what other Spotted users will use to identify you. To change your avatar, click the My Spotted tab. Then click on My Spotted Profile. This will take you to your profile page.

Under the My Avatar heading, you can choose a pre-created avatar, or you can upload your own.

How do I change my user name and password?

To change your user name, click the My Spotted tab. Then, click on My Spotted Profile. This will take you to the My Profile page. Scroll down to the My Username section and type your new user name into the text box. Click Change.

Note: Changing your user name will not affect your login user name.

To change your password: If you signed up for Spotted through an external site, find the external site’s registration page. From there, you can change your password. However, if you signed up exclusively through Spotted, click on the My Spotted tab. Then, click on the My Registration Info submenu that appears. Scroll down to the Change My Password section and type your old and new passwords. Confirm your new password by typing it into the third text box and click Change Password.

How do I edit my bio?

It’s easy to enter info about yourself, and it helps other Spotted members with similar interests find you.

First, click on the My Spotted tab. Then, click on My Spotted Profile. This takes you to the My Profile page.

Scroll down to the My Bio section and fill in the text boxes with your information. Click Change when you’re finished.

How do I send photos to Spotted from my mobile phone?

Just send your photos to your Spotted site’s mobile email address. Just add “mobile@” in front of your Spotted site’s web address. For example, if your Spotted site’s URL is “www.spotted.domain.com”, enter mobile@spotted.domain.com. Then, check your gallery to see your photos (it may take us a few minutes to process them).

Note: You can use the subject line of your email to direct your photos.

If you leave the subject line blank, your photos will automatically be placed in your “Mail Spot” gallery.

If you put the name of an existing gallery in the subject line, your photos will be placed in that gallery.

If you put any other text in the subject line, a gallery will be created with that name and your photos will be placed inside.

In order for us to identify your photos when you send them, we need to know what email addresses you may send us photos from. You can list up to three valid email addresses that you will use to send us photos.

First, click on the My Spotted tab. Then, click on My Spotted Profile. This will take you to the My Profile page.

Scroll down to the My Mobile Emails section and use the text boxes to type in up to three email addresses. Click Change when you’re finished.

How do I find out my phone's email address?

Just send an email from your mobile device to your regular email account. The address in the “From” section is your mobile device’s email address.
