I can’t seem to edit my profile.

Also, can you delete old posts ?

You have all the control when it comes to deleting your own posts , old or new.

Editing your profile here and on the authors side you can find the how too on the newbies speakeasy thread.

Good luck

Click the Edit button on the lower right corner of the post. You may or my not see a Delete option once in the Edit screen, but you can simply wipe the content and enter 5 dots ..... since there is a five character minimum.


The ability to create or edit a forum profile was deliberately disabled over two years ago with no explanation.

Can you retrieve list of your created posts?

Click your name in any post. You'll see a dialog box appear. Click on "Find More Posts by DiePieDic".

As JaFo said, you aren’t able to edit your profile here anymore. Hopefully that feature is returned to forum users, but in the meantime a lot of people are putting profile type info in their signature so it shows in every post.

If you need to delete a post (edit it to the word “deleted” or to “.....”), you can do that for all of your posts unless they are in a closed thread. If you find yourself unable to edit a post because the thread is closed, reach out to a mod from that page. Most will help.

I had the same question. I know how to edit my AUTHOR profile, but can't figure out how to edit my FORUM profile.
There also seems to be no way to access someone's AUTHOR profile by clicking on their screename in the forum. I have to search their username in a separate search engine, which doesn't always work. Very annoying. I don't understand why the forum and story page are acting like two completely different websites. And I don't understand why the information from my author profile (pic/bio), doesn't display on my forum profile.

Currently and since it creation Literotica is two separate pieces. The Story side and the Forum side. They each have a user profile, yet the Story side seems to control some of the Forum side as you can login on the Story side and be logged in on the Forum side.

In the past two, three years there have been some rewrites and enhancements going on. For some reason the profile on the Forum side was turned off. I assume yet remember reading a post that the all logins will be via the Story side... eventually, it's profile will be used for both.

No information on when that might happen has been released as of yet.

There isn't one.

Use this string: https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=######&page=submissions

Replace the ### with the member's User ID. You can find that by hovering over their ID in any forum post. Yours is: 4378540

Because they are.

And I don't understand why the information from my author profile (pic/bio), doesn't display on my forum profile.

Rumor has it that was the reason for the forum side profiles being disabled. but that was over three years ago now and Admin continues to refuse to discuss the matter.

Oh thanks. That's very useful to know. I'll try it.

Because they are.

That's so strange to me though, because it's the same username, and I don't recall having to make a separate account for the forums, and you access them through the homepage. This website's design is so strange and confusing.

I don't see why that would be an issue though. I really wish the admins would address the issue with the Forum profiles, because it would be nice to have a picture and some information so people know who they're talking to, especially for the "User above you" posts.
