Everyone also can check this area out as well:

YorkieTalk How-To Guides - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

There are detail instructions on just about anything that you would want to know how to do with pictures, profile, uploading, you name it! There is even a link for a free download of Photoscape and how to use that to resize pictures and make avatars. Kind of like one stop YT shopping. If you have a question about any one of the questions there is always someone to answer your questions too!

There is also a club that was formed call Profile Fanatics. Lots of tips and suggestions can be found there too.

This was a great idea to post a nice welcome to new members Xmasbaby

Then, go to your profile page (You can get there by clicking on your member name on the right hand side where it says "Welcome". You'll need to upload your pictures/graphics to an album in order to use them on your profile pages - so create a new album then upload the pictures there.

Once you have done that, go back to your profile page, click on the link that says "Customize Profile" towards the right. Here is where you can make all the changes. Under "Main" there is a box that says "Background Image" -- If you click the little yellow icon next to that - it will show you the pictures you have in your albums, and you can choose the background image you want. Just play around with the other settings (colors, etc.) until it looks good. You can preview it before you save anything. If you need anymore help, just post here again! Welcome to YT! Glad to have you here!

Well, assuming you have created a new album, and uploaded your background pic there, then you just have to go to your profile page and click "Customize Profile" -- I copied a small piece of that page so you can see the yellow icon I was talking about. (it's right next to background image)

Sorry, it won't let me do a screen print!

Here's the screen print - hopefully!

Read post 3 of this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ake-album.html You need to change you albums to "profile" instead of "public" if you want the little yellow icon to show up, and make it easier to change your page. Otherwise, you have to do it the old-fashioned way, and click on the picture, and copy the "url" address, and paste it in the appropriate space. It's much easier to just change the album to profile and have those choices automatically come up. Remember it's not the title of the album you are changing, but the "type" of album .


Also it's good to put all you wallpaper in one album, unless you really do become a fanatic, and then you'll want a profile album for each holiday.

you basically have to go on youtube and find the music video you want to be your background music- then good look at this thread

Hello everyone. I am pretty new to the forum. I am still trying to figure things out. I have a 1 year old Yorkie named Coco. I am a first time yorkie owner so this site has helped out a lot so far. My name is Cindy. I just tried to make a avatar so this is my first post to see if it worked. Wish me luck. I'm not the best with computers
