Your profile

Set up your bio, picture, and profile tabs.

Your profile is your home on UpTrust. A clear picture and a short bio help people figure out who you are, so the right folks find you and trust you faster.

Where to find it: Click your name at the bottom of the left sidebar, then choose Profile. On your own profile, you edit things right where they sit.

Fill out your profile

  1. Under your name, click Add a tagline / short bio... and type the one line people see. Press Save. Click the line again any time to change it.
  2. Open the About tab. Click any field to edit it: a longer story about you, your Location, Credentials, Work, what you are Looking for, what people can Ask me about, and your Links. Press Save under each one.
  3. Hover over your picture and click the camera icon to upload a new one.

If you linked your X account in connected accounts, your profile shows your @handle with a small X mark next to your join date. Anyone can click it to open your X page. To hide it, turn off Show @yourhandle on my profile in the same place.

Your profile tabs

Across the top of your profile are tabs that hold different parts of your activity:

  • Home and Activity show what you have posted and done.
  • Trust shows the topics people trust you on. Read how trust works to learn more.
  • Collections holds posts you have saved into collections.
  • Bridges shows your bridge posts, and About shows the details you filled in.

A picture helps

Profiles with a real photo and a short bio tend to earn trust sooner. It takes a minute and makes you easier to recognize.
