Manage Account : Step By Step Instructions

The Manage Account section of TriCitiesNights will allow you to edit pages and upload a profile photo for your page(s).  Some pages will also be provided an option to add and edit their events.  For more on adding events to the TriCitiesNights schedules, see the "Manage Events : Step By Step Instructions" post in the Help Center blog.  Your account management will also allow you to change your account password.  This post will walk you through the process of managing your pages on TriCitiesNights.

Any time you are logged in, you can access your account management with the link at the top of any page on TriCitiesNights.

Your account management will show you pages you have administrative access to and those you have requested access to.  To request access to an already existing page on TriCitiesNights, see the "Gain Page Access : Step By Step Instructions" post in the Help Center blog.

Let's start with editing your page information.  Click on the "edit page info" link beside the page you are wanting to edit.

Page information is divided into sections and may vary depending on the type of page you are editing.  You can navigate through these section with the tabs you see in the example below.  The example is for a karaoke company which has sections for Info, Bio and Social.

When you are finished editing your information, you can submit your changes with the "Update" link below the form.

If your information contains any errors, you will be notified immediately.  An additional "Error" tab will appear with a description of the error.

If your information does not contain any errors, a "Success" tab will appear and your page information will be updated.

You can return to your account management at any time with the "Return to Manage Account" link above the page edit form or the Manage Account link at the top of any page on TriCitiesNights.

Now we'll move on to adding or changing your profile photo.  Start by clicking the "add/change photo" link beside the page you are wanting to edit.  This screen is shown in the second image of this tutorial.

The manage page photo example screenshot below provides instructions on the right side of the page.  We will get into more detail here.

The profile photo you upload will be saved in three sizes:
* Your page will display your profile photo at a maximum width of 300 pixels and maximum height of 200 pixels.
* A copy with maximum dimensions of 450x300 pixels will be made for any time your page may be featured on TriCitiesNights.
* An additional 75x50 pixel copy will be made for use as an icon in directories, etc.

Our photo uploader will not stretch or crop your image but may need to resize it.
Please keep file sizes to a minimum.  Uploading of large photos may cause the uploader to crash.

For the best results possible, a photo with dimensions of 450x300 pixels is preferred.

To select the image you want to upload, click on the Choose File button.  The appearance of the button may vary depending on what type of browser you are using.  The example below was made with Google Chrome.

As with any upload, your computer's file system will appear so that you may find and select your image.  Once you have selected your image, click the Upload Photo button on our form.

All images must be in JPG, GIF or PNG format.  If you have this error or any other errors, you will be notified immediately.
