The change user details form allows you to update the email, telephone number and postal address that you supplied us with when you first registered. You can change any or all of them as you wish. Our database is updated instantaneously when you use the form. A small, but increasing, set of pages in the system are able to operate in more than one way, depending on whether you consider yourself to be an expert user or not. At the time of writing, only the dataset browsing pages change their behaviour for experts and novices.
All accounts start out with their expertise level set to 'novice'.
The settings primarily affect how much on-screen help you receive for various forms. Expert settings remove all on-screen help from the dataset browsing pages, although the help icons still provide links to the help information. This increases the amount of data you can see on a single screen. Use the Change skill level form to alter your current skill level.
