-(todo: write this section to explain how to configure signatures, avatars, etc.)
+The forum allows you to configure all sorts of personal settings, such as:
+* an avatar (small image) for people to quickly identify you,
+* a signature that's automatically appended to all your forum posts,
+* an e-mail address to which you can get notification e-mails when people post to forums you're subscribed to,
+* your preferred display language,
+and more.
+=== Opening the User Control Panel (UCP) ===
+At the top right corner of the forum, there is a small "person" icon.  When you click on it, a small panel will open with the option '''User Control Panel''' at the top.
+[[File:Help-forum-06-ucp.png|thumb|none|300px|How to open the UCP]]
+The UCP is divided into many pages, among two axes.  At the top you have the main function categories of the UCP, represented as tabs/buttons.  After you click on a tab, the menu on the left will show you the pages it contains.

+In the following sections we will be using some of these pages.
+=== Setting an e-mail address for automatic notifications ===
+The forum has the ability to send you e-mail notifications for a number of events.  Such as: receiving a personal message from another forum user, receiving a reply to a topic you started, a new topic being started in a sub-forum you subscribed to, etc.
+For the notifications to work, you first need to set an e-mail address that will receive them.  For this, open the '''Profile''' tab of the UCP and then open the '''Edit account settings''' page.
+[[File:Help-forum-08-acc-settings.png|thumb|none|700px|Reaching the account settings page]]
+In this page, you can fill out the '''Email address''' field.  To be able to save the address, you must also fill out the field '''Current password'''.  After that, click on ''Submit''.
+Please do '''not''' use the ''New password'' field on this page.  If you want to change your FeministWiki password, use the [[Special:Preferences|Wiki User Preferences]] page instead, where you can change your global FeministWiki password.
