Basic Overview
There is one major difference in our new software as opposed to our old version. We no longer have “User CP” where we go to change our profiles, etc.
We have a new feature that is located in the upper right hand corner of our screen. We simply click on our name and a drop down box appears with options underneath. Here we will find our profile tab, our settings, our messages, etc.
