Old-style staff profile pages

Staff who arrived before 2014 will have had an official profile page set up with URL of the form http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/~crsid, relocated in December 2013 to http://www3.eng.cam.ac.uk/~crsid).

Those pages still exist, because some staff had developed content around them. However, no new pages of that kind are being created, and they are no longer the official profile pages. If you want yours removed, contact webadmin.

Updating old-style profile pages

If you still have and need to edit your old-style profile page, you can access it as follows:

  • From a Windows PC
    You can connect to the server as a 'network drive' from a Windows PC within the Department, and edit your profile page directly from your PC. You should connect to:
    \\update-www.eng.cam.ac.uk\userid
    replacing userid with your own userid. When prompted, enter your username as AD\crsid, and use your Engineering password. Once you have connected to the network drive, you can edit your profile just as you would any other file on your computer. If you have difficulty in connecting to the server, please contact helpdesk@eng.cam.ac.uk
