On my profile I have tried to edit it so that it indicates I'm using Windows, v. 26 and NP3. I click on edit profile, I indicate those, and I hit submit, yet it continues to list me as "Windows, v. 26, and Garritan." Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Looks like it worked. It won't change your old postings.

Wait, are you saying you see it listed as I indicated? What I see is still the same old profile. Interesting.

bj nick,

The only thing you are doing wrong, is that you are confusing Forum Signature and Forum Profile.

Your signature says
“Finale v. 26, Windows 10, Garritan Instruments for Finale”.
It is displayed below your posts.

Your profile says
“Finale Version: v26, NP3”.
It is displayed to the right of your posts - along with some other Profile Info, like e. g. your platform (operating system), and the date you joined the Forum.

From your description it sounds like you want to edit your forum signature.

I hope that this is clear?
If not, ask again.
