Where oh where did the settings button go, oh where of where can it be?
A reader expressed dismay trying to take my advice when I told him to get into “Settings -> Some Setting” and change it.
You see – the settings icon has disappeared!
Old timers…
Well – I guess I am one in that I “know” the settings function has been located in the upper right hand corner since forever, and I just go there and get into settings, but my reader is correct – the icon for settings is gone.
The clue!
So here’s what the top-right corner of the LinkedIn window looks like:
And notice – no “Settings” – but there is a clue – the little downward facing triangle right next to my name.
Hovering
That’s right, when you hover over that triangle, a new menu appears:
And there we have it – the elusive “Settings” icon…
Sign Out of public computers
Notice one additional item there – the ability to “Sign Out”.
If you’re using your home computer, it doesn’t make much sense, but if you’re in a public space – or merely someone else’s space, this is important.
You don’t want the next person walking by to access your data, so be sure to Sign Out.
That’s what I mean!
So if you ever see me write “Access the Settings -> Email Address area”, I mean get into that “Settings” area, and find the one that says “Email Addresses”.
(And if you haven’t added all your email addresses, please do so – and make sure your personal address is primary!)
To your continued success,
