Board Upgrade

[disfigured]

Your going to drive me nuts.

I'm the type of poster that can't not tweak everything. IMs/Contacts, Freinds lists, Avatars, you name it I customize it.

Just got done doing my profile in different colors. Takes a while but I've been building webpages for a while and know the pit falls (too many colors, bad text colors, borders etc etc).

Your page looks good, disfigured. I think I'll do mine.

I worked briefly on tweaking mine. Too bright? http://www.politicalgroove.com/members/kana.html

Try to use complementary colors, and don't introduce any more then 3 main colors. You can do more but it's tough to make it look right. In this circumstance anyway.

I like it, you could just use some deeper richer tones of the same colors if you wanted, to tone it down a bit. I don't believe your limited to the palette given either. You can enter any html code color and it will use it (whether it used on the other end at a person's browser is another question).

Here's a good page that has an HTML color picker so you can go through a larger spectrum of colors and it will give you the code (the numbers and letters with the # sign preceding it).

HTML color codes: about half way down the page is a pallete box that can be manipulated and the code is generated.

The colors are like I said complementary so that's good. Girls (with out sounding too sexist) should be good at this, they like and understand colors and how they effect style and presentation.

Some sweet lookin profiles going on, I tried to copy my MySpace page which I recently updated, will no doubt tweak somemore later on.

BTW, Eric, check out that pic of Steve Vai in my album HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

i added an album so i could use one of the pictures for a background in customizing my profile.

i have tried the addy from the album (both the address and the location properties) and also from my homestead account and it just keeps saying invalid properties for the background image.

what am i doing incorrectly ?

Make sure that your album isn't set so only your friends can view it, I tried that too and had do make it so everyone could see it.

are you able to reverse it back to friends only after you suck it in ?

I wouldn't think so because that would defeat the purpose of securing it but nothing to hurt in trying.
