Step One: Go to your profile
Step Two: Edit your profile
Step Three: Go to the "Personal" tab
Step Four: Locate the boxes for the Mini-Profile background (the middle box will not be there)
Step Five: Paste this {"image":"","color":""} into the "Mini-Profile Background" text box and then click "Save Personal Settings"
Step Six: After your changes have been saved, refresh your page
You should then be able to scroll back to the Mini-Profile Settings and see something like this
Step Seven: Open a new tab and find a picture you want to use for a background. Copy it's image address like shown below.
Step Eight: Go back to your profile and click on the first text box, it should open a new popup on the forum and you can paste the image address in the first box
Now you're done! Just don't forget to save your changes. Keep reading for more cool things you can do with Mini-Profile Backgrounds.
Solid Color: If you don't want to use a picture, you can simply choose a solid color to use instead!
Using GIFs: You can also use a .gif file for your background! It's the same process you use to get a still picture.
Changing the Text Color: You can change the color of the text on your Mini-Profile to any color you'd like. This can really help if the background makes the text less visible
Note: The pictures used will not resize on their own, so if you want more of the picture to show, use a smaller picture
If you need any more help, leave a reply and I'm sure someone can assist. Or contact a staff member. Enjoy your new Mini-Profile and remember to keep it appropriate!
