How to Update Your Status

Posting a status update is a simple way to share what you're working on, how you're feeling, or just engage with the Code Forum community. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Go to Your Profile​

  1. Make sure you're logged into your Code Forum account.
  2. Click your username or avatar in the top-right corner of the page.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select Profile.

Step 2: Locate the Status Update Box​

Once on your profile page, you’ll see the Status Update field at the top — just above your recent activity feed.

Step 3: Write Your Status​

  1. Click inside the box to begin writing your status message.
  2. You can include plain text, links, or even tag other members by typing @username.

Step 4: Add Optional Details​

  • You can include emojis to make your status more expressive.
  • Keep it short and relevant — this is your quick community-facing update.

Step 5: Post Your Status​

When you're ready, click the Post button (below the status box) to publish your update.

Your status will now appear:

  • At the top of your profile
  • In the sidebar of the main forum index (visible to others)

Step 6: Engage with Your Status​

Other members can:

  • React to your status with emojis
  • Reply to it and start a conversation

This is a great way to stay connected and build community engagement.

Step 7: Edit or Delete Your Status​

If you want to change or remove your current status:

  1. Visit your profile or locate the status in your feed.
  2. Look for the Edit or Delete option next to the status message.
  3. Click the relevant option and confirm your change.

Tip: Adding a short reason for deletion helps moderators understand if you report issues or request support.
