Your watchlist is a list of questions and answers that you have chosen to watch, to see what changes are made to them, but you can edit which questions are on your watchlist. In the blue pannel to the left, you will see "my settings". Click on that, and follow the instructions for setting your watchlist the way you want it. Be sure to click on "save settings" before you leave that page, or your preferences won't be saved.

Your profile is the page that has your username, number of contributions, trust points, any personal info you choose to put there about yourself, etc. When you first sign on to WikiAnswers, look in the blue column on your left, and you will see "My profile", and if you want to go to your profile, then just click on it. You can edit it by going to your profile and clicking on "edit".

The only thing you can edit on your profile though, is the personal info you choose to put there, such as what kind of work you do, or if you are a student, your likes, dislikes, etc. You cannot change or edit things like your number of contributions, trust points, etc. But again, if you edit your profile, be sure to click on "save settings" before leaving the edit page.

Message boards are where you and others can leave messages for someone. If you have a message on your message board that you would like to reply to, click on "reply" (just above that message), and it will take you to that person's message board. If you would like to leave a message for someone with whom you've not yet communicated, there are a couple of ways to get to their message board.

You can go to your profile, then at the top, in your browser, hi-lite the entire address, then backspace and delete your username from the address in the browser and type in the username of the one you want to message. The reason for back spacing first is because if you don't, it will delete the entire address instead of just your username.

Another way to get to someone's message board is to click on their username any place you see it, such as in an answer or on someone else's message board.
