Let me know if you are still having trouble.

that's the part where i'm having problems is the saving. i have an album and clicked on the image i wanted but I can't figure out where to save?

At the very bottom of the "customize profile" page, there is a button that says "Save Changes". Just hit this, and you will be all set! You can test it too by hitting the "Preview" button.

Where is everyone getting their cute graphics?

It's very nice of you to offer your help !!!!!!! I'm trying to upload my 1st ever picture to the site & I get the following:

You are allowed a maximum of 2048000 bytes of diskspace. If you would like to upload more images, please delete some of your older images and/or optimize your images using lower quality jpg settings before uploading.

What gives ?

You may need to resize your images. You can use the site I gave a few posts up to resize your images and makes them smaller.

Hi! This may be silly, but you know when you go to a members profile and they have a large picture next to their name. How do i get one of those, or do i have one and just cant view it.

OOOOOOO! Xmasbaby- I love your background! How do I make mine go all the way through? Not just behind everything.

Click on UserCP (blue bar all the way to the left) Then click "Edit Profile Picture" on the left and upload your pic there.

It looks like you just have the background under "Main" background image. I also put my background under "Primary Content Areas".
Hope this helps!!

How do you set up a poll?

To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes! post a poll' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.
When you click the submit button, you will be taken to the poll creation page, where you can specify the question and the list of responses you want to include.
You may also want to specify a time limit for the poll, so that (for example) it only stays open for voting for a week.
