Firstly - you will find that profile section can be divided in two parts:

• User's own profile section:

• Other user profile sections:

The difference between them is that in case of your own profile you can modify your settings and it contains generally text links, while in 2nd case it contains icons for interaction with the other user.

• Profile information (nickname, age, gender, location) and picture (expandable in a floatbox)
• View my: Reviews - list of reviews written by you
• View my: Recommends - displays item recommendations made by and for the user
• View my: Invitations - Shows friending invitations received from other users. In case of new invitations, this link should turn red and show number of new invitations since last view of the section.
• View my: Comments - must take you to the Comments section on your profile
• Manage my: Profile (the same as “Edit my profile” on top tollbar when visiting own profile) - allows you to edit your profile information - age, gender, picture, personal quote, etc.
• Manage my: Interests - edit your interests by topics for “My interests” widget. This information will also be taken into account when making reading suggestions for you
• Manage my: Friends - edit your friends
• Cover of item currently being read which on mouse over shows item title and author information

• Profile information (nickname, age, gender, location [determined by library]) and picture (expandable in a floatbox)
• View my: Reviews - displays reviews written by the user
• View my: Recommendations - you can see recommendations user has made and received
• “Add friend” / “Remove friend” icon with a pop-up tool tip on mouse over
• “Send message” icon for internal mailing with a pop-up tool tip on mouse over
• “Recommend to this user” - you can recommend an item to the user after you have seen user's bookshelf
• “IM/Chat” icon (IF USER IS ONLINE) with a pop-up tool tip on mouse over - this icon must open an IM/Chat window with the current user
• “Follow/unfollow this user” - you can follow what user does (such as which books adds to bookshelf, which items revies, etc.) so that the followed events would appear in your “My following” widget
• “Follow on Twitter” - if a user has authorized with his Twitter account and decided to display the icon, you can go to user's Twitter profile
• Online status information - this will either be information showing “Last Login: {date}” or show a red frame around user's picture which means that the user is online
• Cover of item currently being read which on mouse over shows item title and author information

You can edit your profile by going to it and locating “Edit my profile” link on the toolbar right by the search input box:

which gives an option to:

• Add / change / remove your user's picture
• Change your bith date
• Change your gender
• Edit your favourite quote
• Edit / remove your current read
• Edit interests, favorite subjects and genres - this is not only to share them with the users, but based on them you will be provided a recommended read
• Choose from existing color schemes or create and style your own
