Set your forum preferences

If your district allows photos to be used for forums, you can decide whether you want the photo that is in Aspen to be displayed next to your forum posts. If you do not want to use the photo in the system, a generic silhouette will appear next to your name whenever you post to a forum.

To set your forum preferences:

1. On the settings bar, click Set Preferences. The preferences pop-up appears.
2. Click the Collaboration tab.
3. Under Forum Options, at the Forum posts per page field, type the number of posts you want to see on each page.

   Note: For forums with a lot of posts, typing a small number means there will be many pages to click through; typing a big number means you will have to do more scrolling to get to the bottom of the page.

4. If your district allows school photos to be used in forums and you have a photo in Aspen, the Use school photo field and your photo appear. Do one of the following:
• Select this checkbox to have this photo appear next to any posts you make to forums.
• Deselect this checkbox to not use your school photo. A generic silhouette will appear next to your name for any posts you make to forums.

  Note: If your district does not allow photos or your district allows photos but you do not have one in the system, the Use school photo field does not appear. A generic silhouette will appear next to your name if you post to a forum.
