Many of you i'm sure are used to the vbullitain layout for account customizing.
Here i'll teach you about the pro boards methods of doing so.
All customizing is done through the modify profile area.
Located by clicking Profile, then Modify profile.
To change or upload a custom avatar
There are two options here. the site default avatars (which i'm trying to make more of for the time being)
or the custom avatars.
For the moment lets cover custom avatars. First and foremost, avatars are a max of 160 x 400.
In order to display and set a custom avatar, you need it to be hosted on an image hosting site like photobucket, or another forum.
Simply grab the direct link to the image itself, and paste it in the box titles custom avatar. then click modify profile in the bottom left of the page.
To add a custom text
This is available by default to all members, and i'll teach you how to do so.
from the modify profile area, scroll til you find the custom text box.type out your text there and click modify profile in the bottom left.
To add a signature image
Signature images are only supported through BB code at the moment.
That means you'll need to wrap these tags around your image link. "[/img]" (no quotation marks though)
After you have done that click modify profile in the bottom left to save changes.
Animated Gif images are also supported.
You can pick one of the following:1 small animated gif, or 1 animated userbar.
Do not go over this or they will be removed.
To change the site skin
Under the modify profile area you can select a custom skin from the drop down box. By default the skin is set to Knightly.
If you select another skin you must click modify profile for the skin to save.
(please note changing a skin only applies to what you see, it won't change what others see. )
Toggle the Sub Forum Display
If you want to display all the sub forums on the front page, click the expand sub forums check box.
That about sums it up for customizing. Hope this helped you all!
