How to put a background image on your profile... - Profiles

Wicked · 12-19-2007, 04:08 PM

I have typed this out for a few people already, so I thought I would post it for anyone else who doesn't know how to put a background image on their new profile!

First go under your UserCP and click the Pictures & Albums link.
Click the add album link and make an album (or if you already have an album you want to use, click on it to open it).
Click the link that says "Click here to upload pictures!" and upload whatever image you want to use for your background.
Give the image a caption and click the save changes button.
When the board takes you back to the album click on the image so that it opens on another page.
Copy the URL for that page from the address bar.
Go back to the UserCP, and then go to the "Customize profile" link on the left sidebar.
Paste the URL into the "Background Image" box in the first section and VIOLA!

http://www.tmbfree.com/backgrounds.htm

i used an image from my comp. it's just an icon collage from a myspace thing.

but you can use a pic and have it repeat so there are no gaps.
