Description Dirk Stoecker 2007-01-25 15:37:01 UTC
Nothing to add except: If there way, it is hidden very well. At least "-> User Prefs" does not have such an option.
Comment 1 Andreas Hanke 2007-01-25 15:50:35 UTC
Bugzilla is not a support forum to ask for general help.

You can change your personal data via https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/manageAccount.jsp

=> WORKSFORME?
Comment 2 Dirk Stoecker 2007-01-25 16:06:10 UTC
This is nice to know, but how should I know?

There is no way to reach that page from
a) The opensuse.org wiki pages (which I used to setup my account)
b) The Novell Bugzilla pages (where I need my account for)
c) The Novell main pages (where I would not look at all normally).

After you told me about the page I tried to find any relevant link for 15 minutes now and failed. So maybe it is obvious for Novell employees, but not for a bug reporter.

A link to that page should be somewhere at the user prefs from bugzilla.

This link is reachable via the http://www.novell.com main page -> Support -> Customer Center -> Edit My Profile.

This is IMHO an enhancement request.

It's even easier than that.

1) bugzilla.novell.com
2) Click "Log In"
3) Click "Edit My Profile"

I would consider marking this as an enhancement, except we're not really working on bugzilla any more. So, I'm closing it -- sorry.

Changing the summary so it's a bit easier for other folks to find.

To comment #4:

I cannot verify this. There is no "Edit My Profile" available on the first page after login.

Created attachment 115563 [details]

Please see screenshot showing the login screen with "Edit My Profile" highlighted.

"Edit My Profile" is on the login screen. If you've already logged into bugzilla, you've passed it.

Better instructions:

1) Go to bugzilla.novell.com
2) Click "Log in" (but don't log in yet)
3) Click "Edit My Profile"
4) Fill in username and password and click "Login"
5) The rest is pretty obvious
