How to add a background image to your profile.

[GuruSharky]

Okay, so I've had a couple of people ask me this and I'll create a little guide to help you.

Step 1: Any image that you want to use must be in your albums. If you don't already have an album heres how to make one.

• - Go into your User Control Panel by clicking options or by clicking your username then "Customize Profile"
  
  
  
  
  - At the top of the Customize Profile page that you will be redirected to, click the blue highlighted "album" (There is probably another way to get to albums but this is the fastest and easiest way)
  
  
  
  
  - You will be redirected to [Insert Username here's] albums. Once there, click "Add Album"
  
  - Enter in the title of the album and the description. (You can just name it "My Pics" or something like that the name doesn't really matter unless you want to organize your pics)
  
  
  
  
  - Then it will take you to your empty album. Once there, click "Upload Images" (By now hopefully you have downloaded the images that you want for your background)
  
  
  
  
  - Simply Upload the images that you want to use.

Step 2: Now that you've created your album, the rest is simple. Click the Image that you want to use for your background. Copy the Picture URL which is located directly underneath the picture.

Step 3: Once you've copied the Picture Url return to your "Customize Profile" screen by clicking the "Options" link in the header Nav bar, or by entering your profile and clicking "Customize Profile".

Step 4: Once there, paste the Picture URL into the "BackGround Image" box in the Main category, as this is what will set the background of the whole profile.

Step 5: Select whether or not you want it to repeat.

Step 6: Click "Save" then check out your profile.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed a profile background!

If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

I'll probably add some pictures to this little guide to help later, I don't feel like it now.

Hope this helps!

Feel free to give rep lol

Good guide. If you ever have time you should add some pictures, they always make a guide better.

I'll go ahead and sticky this though as a lot of people have asked me in the past how to do this too.
