How do I update the "About" statement on my "Forum Activity" page?

1st screenshot: When clicking on "Forum Activity" above my posts in the forums, I find "On the road to Phelamanga" listed next to my profile picture, in the "About" section.

I'm pretty sure I never wrote that...I didn't even know what "Phelamanga" meant until I looked it up just now. (Although I have used Logos for many, many years...maybe I wrote it long ago? My memory has been mistaken before!)

2nd screenshot: I've tried changing that entry by entering "I use Logos to organize my studies and to teach Sunday School" in the "Short Bio" section on my Account Settings page. Then I exited and signed in again, and then I waited half a day. But, nothing changed. 

 

Does anyone know where I should go to change the phrase "On my way to Phelamanga"?

    Does this help Using the Forum (logos.com)? On the forum page in the upper right select edit. Scroll down to signature. Change.

    Curious what appears for Bio in the About You section on your Faithlife profile => https://faithlife.com/account/edit

    Faithlife Profile Edit has Short Bio near the top of web page and expanding About You shows Bio (that appears in my forum activity for me).

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    It worked, though I don't understand how!

    I changed my "Signature" from blank to "Testing." At that point, "Testing" showed up as my signature, and, like magic, the "Short Bio" I had written showed up as my "About" in my "Forum Activity."

    So I then chose the option to not have a signature displayed, but left the word "Testing" in my signature, and, the "Short Bio" continues to show up.

    I don't understand why this worked, but it was an easy fix!

    Thank you, MJ.

    Hello Keep Smiling!

    I saw your post too late last night to reply; sorry.

    Right now, it says "Homeschool mom and children's Sunday school teacher. Elementary school teacher by trade."

    But as of last night when you posted, I think I had left it blank. I had only filled in "Short Bio" at that point, attempting to get it to show in the "About" section when my "Forum Activity" page was displayed.

    But, it's all working now. Somehow, the signature seems tied to the "Short Bio." My "Short Bio" wouldn't show in the "About" section until after I had written something in my signature. 

    Thank you for trying to help me figure things out!
