Your profile will then display to others with the message: "This user's profile is private." and no one else can view your profile.Activity Feed
The activity feed is your personal hub for interaction. Here, you can post updates and see posts from others. You can also manage comments people have left on your feed by removing any that you deem unnecessary.

How to upload an image
It's now much easier to upload your photos into discussions. Here's how:
Access the Comment Box
Begin by navigating to the "Leave a comment" section in the relevant discussion.
Upload Your Image
- Click on the small mountain icon located in the bottom left of the comment box in the toolbar. If you hover over this icon, you will see the label "Upload a photo."
- A file selection window will open. Choose the image you want to upload from your files. Remember, it is essential to ensure you have the copyright to the image you are uploading and permission of anyone featured in the image.
- Image Placement and Editing:
- Once uploaded, the image will appear in the comment box.
- At the top of the image, you will find several symbols (see below)
- Alignment: Click on this to choose how your image appears in the comment—centred, floated left, or floated right.
- Size: Select the display size of the image by clicking on the below symbol; options typically include small, medium, or large. We recommend using small or medium for posts to maintain readability.
- Accessibility: Add alt text to your image by clicking the symbol below, which is important for accessibility. Alt text provides a description of the image for those using screen readers, helping them to understand the content even without seeing it.
- Delete: If you wish to remove the image completely from the comment, this option is available before you post. Just click the symbol below.
Add Text to Your Comment
You can insert text before or after the image in your comment. This allows you to provide context or additional information related to the image.
Finalise Your Comment
- Once you are satisfied with your comment and image, you have two options:
- Save Draft: If you want to return and finalise your comment later, press the "Save Draft" button.
- Post Comment: To make your comment with the image appear immediately in the discussion, click on the "Post Comment" button.
Editing Your Post
- After posting, you have up to an hour to make any necessary changes. This window allows you to review and refine your content for accuracy and completeness.
- To edit your post, navigate to the three dots on the top right of your post and select edit.
- Make any necessary changes, whether it's adjusting the text, image alignment, size, or alt text or removing the image completely.
- Once satisfied with your edits, save the updated post to ensure the changes are applied.
By following these steps, you can effortlessly enhance your discussions with images, ensuring they are accessible and engaging for all participants.
