Cool New Features

That is very cool, Soda. Whats this Pictures and Albums option under User CP?

Sorry I took so long to answer this, ticky!

The "pictures and albums" allows you to store various photos on your profile and people can come look at them. They can be of whatever you like. They can also be used to customize your profile (like changing backgrounds).

I experimented with it and added a few photos - you can see the results by scrolling down the right side of my profile here:

Very Cool Soda! I'll have to load some pics of Wild n me singing Rocky Mountain Way in the river *grin* Or maybe just the river and you can use your imagination.

Did ya'll know you can customize your profile real fancy like? Mike showed me and I've been playing with it. It's pretty cool! Check it out if you get a chance. ALSO, I put allll the wallpapers and backgrounds in an Album in my profile so ya'll feel free to take what ya want. (there are a few in there I used on my Joe page too)

Pretty fun stuff!

Thanks Soda!!

Ticky, you are so talented in this department, it's amazing. I'm having trouble reading the red lettering, though. When I have more time, I can't wait to look through yourr albums!

[ticky]

yeah, I couldnt change the red lettering. I think thats part of the basic code for the page *G* no control over that. But thanks! It was fun!

Excellent job Ticky! I really like the wallpapers. You're going to have to give some lessons on this.

[ticky]

Sure! I can do what I can do *G* I'll help ya if I can, just let me know

[wsccg]

Thanks so much! How would I go about adding a pic as a background? I'm so ignorant when it comes to all this stuff.

Ok, Ill say it here instead of a PM so if anyone else wants to do it too, they'll know (if you dont mind Soda *G* It IS you'r site). You need to upload the pic you want to use into a photo album in your profile (so if you dont have a photo album, you create one by clicking "add album" then up load the picture you want to use into it. If you dont have it locally- on your computer, you might want to save it to your computer then upload it) then under "customize you profile" A small link in the upper right of your profile banner, you will see a series of "boxes" the top one says Main. This is the big background image behind all the secondary blocks. Here you can choose the font, font color background color and background image. You need to put the image address from your photo album here. Its easy. Dont panic *G* Go look at the image in your photo album. Once you have the full image in view, right click it, click "copy image URL" and then paste that where it says "Background" in the Customize your profile/main block. That should give you the main background image. For the backgrounds in the secondary blocks you'll need to paste the URL of the image you want in those. *I* suggest using either a solid color or a very basic BG image for the "Secondary content area" as it will get VERY busy when you look at the Friends section. Hope that makes sense.. but I'll be around if you need help! (its just for fun, play with it. you cant hurt it *G*
