Home > Status Updates > Fixed: Profile Settings

Thanks to all the lensmasters who let us know they were having problems saving changes within their Profile Settings.

You may have been seeing the error, “Oops! I’m sorry, but we’re confused about some things above. Look for red,” but were baffled when you couldn’t find an actual error to fix. Baffling indeed.

This bug has been fixed!

Now’s a great time to review your Profile Settings. This is where you can change important settings like:

• Your Squidoo password (always good to update it from time to time!)
• Whether you want readers to be able to contact you via your bio page. If this is on, people will be able to email you (they won’t see your email address unless you reply back to them, though).
• Update your lensmaster photo and short bio. This is important for maintaining an authentic reputation on your lenses. In a way, the bio you run on your lenses is as important as the Introduction itself!
• Configure your Profile page with links to your Twitter or Facebook accounts or blogs and shops you run. Go ahead and round up your reputation online.
• Manage global settings for how you receive comments in your Guestbook modules. Hint: We recommend moderating these by requesting email alerts for new comments. Just so you know what’s coming through.
• Doublecheck or update your PayPal address (so you can get paid!)
• Change your default payout settings. Cash or charity? Have you seen all the cool charities we support these days?
• Change the payout settings on all your existing lenses, all at once, in just one click.
• Manage settings for Points and Trophies you earn.
• And more!

Think of it as 5 minutes’ worth of end of the year housekeeping. Without the spiders and dust.
