Your Profile & Account Settings let you control how you appear on Tailboard and how the platform works for you.

Your profile represents you across the community. It gives others context about who you are, what you’ve contributed, and how you participate — without requiring you to overshare.

Your Profile Page

Every member has a profile page that brings their activity and contributions together in one place. You can customize your profile with a profile image and a header image to make it your own.

Your profile displays:

• Your profile image and header image
• Your Merits and contribution indicators
• Basic profile information
• Your posts and Debriefs
• Photos you’ve shared
• Your friends
• Groups you’re part of
• Pages you follow or manage

Profiles are designed to reflect participation and experience over time. Some members are highly active; others contribute more selectively. Both approaches are respected here.

Editing Your Profile

You can update your profile information and images at any time through Account Settings. Changes you make are reflected across Tailboard wherever your name and content appear.

Keeping your profile up to date helps others understand your background and perspective when you join conversations.

Account Settings

Account Settings are where you manage how Tailboard functions for you behind the scenes.

From Account Settings, you can manage:

• Profile information and images
• Security settings
• Notification preferences
• Privacy controls
• Invitation codes

These settings allow you to fine-tune how visible you are, how often you’re notified, and how your account stays secure.

Security, Privacy, and Notifications

Tailboard is built to respect your time and your privacy. You decide what information is visible, how others can interact with you, and when you’re notified about activity.

Notification settings help you stay informed without becoming distracted. Privacy controls let you participate comfortably, whether you prefer to be highly visible or more reserved.

---

Invitation Codes

Invitation codes allow you to invite other firefighters into Tailboard. This helps the community grow intentionally and keeps the focus on meaningful participation.

You can manage your invitation codes directly from Account Settings.

You’re Set

Once your profile and settings are dialed in, you’re ready to participate fully. Start a conversation, answer a Dispatch, or share experience where it fits best.
