How do I update my computer specs on my Tom's Hardware profile?

Dreamboarder · Jun 16, 2016

I just made an account, and I see where I can enter in my build. Problem is there is no option to add anything to it. Am I overlooking something, or is there a requirement I have yet to fulfill to enter this info?

if you click on your name and bring up your profile you should be able to add it to your info.

it's under "my personal info" you have to click edit at the top of the box with signature, pc specs and personal quote. then add in your info. be sure to click "save changes" to keep what you entered.

oh and welcome to Tom's Hardware

I followed your instructions and it lead me to the same spot I was in before. Problem is when I click the "edit" button the "Computer setup, Signature, and Personal quote" sections all remain grayed out. It lets me enter info into the other sections but not these three. I see a total of four "edit" buttons, I have tried them all but none let me enter in my info. Is there something I am missing? I appreciate the welcome and response!

that's interesting. never saw that. give me a few minutes and i'll ask for some help from the mods. they may know something i don't

Dreamboarder :

I think you have to have a minimum number of posts to edit that.
I believe it is 5.

USAFRet :

I was thinking it was going to be something like this, but I couldn't find any info to confirm my suspicions. 5 posts... what am I supposed to talk about, I am just a lurker trying to become legit.

Dreamboarder · Jun 16, 2016

2 More posts until I have 5. Just going to spam my own thread to see if this is the solution.

*Fingers crossed*

Math Geek · Jun 16, 2016

you got 3 already

drop into the new nvidia pascal megathread and share your thoughts on the new cards http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html should be easy to get 2 more posts

*knows it is a shameless plug*

Haha, Ok. I don't know if you will like what I have to say though, I use AMD

JK I can contribute unbiased opinions!

Dreamboarder · Jun 16, 2016

Ok, looks like I can update the PC specs, Signature and Quotes now! There must have been a posting requirement. Thank you folks for the assistance!

Math Geek · Jun 16, 2016

no problem. figured a mod would know more than i. now i know there is a 5 post min to edit sig here. learned something new today

And welcome to Tom's!
Look around. Stay a while. You may find some funny characters in here.

This community is helpful as always. I learned to build my first PC here a few years back, couldn't recommend you guys more. See you around on the forums!

Math Geek · Jun 16, 2016

you have almost the same pc specs as i do. i also run a 4690k on a gaming 5 with the 212 evo cooler. except i have a 280 gpu. love the mobo myself and found it a joy to work with. my case i huge though so was plenty of room. i run a CM HAF HB EVO. not for everyone since it is so big but i love it myself.

Does any one know if i can change my username i made this account back years ago when i was young and stuffed up the spelling?

Unfortunately, there is no easy user name change...

Either live with it, or create a whole new account.

Ahmuh1306 · Dec 13, 2016

Just trying to see if it will work now.

Ahmuh1306 · Dec 13, 2016

Still not working, wil hopefully work now

USAFRet · Dec 13, 2016

Ahmuh1306 :

Be patient. Sometimes it takes the system a bit to update itself.

Ahmuh1306 · Dec 13, 2016

Update: It worked now!

MeesterYellow · Mar 16, 2017

Doesn't seem to work when updating personal quotes.

pohemi · Apr 15, 2017

I was previously able to update this info, but now I can't. Where do I see how many posts I have? lol

Math Geek · Apr 17, 2017

hover over your pic to see your post and BA count. i see 49 posts and 4 BA's for you. so you got plenty to edit the info you want to edit, if it is not letting you, then create a new thread in the "forum feedback" section of the forum for some assistance.

Thanks for the info guys. I am new to Tom's as a member and this info was very helpful.
