There are many ways that you can personalize your profile to make it your own and reflect your character. You've probably already seen other members with pictures in various spots and extra text here and there. Don't know how to do it yourself? Don't worry! This will help!
Signatures
A signature is a picture or banner that appears at the bottom of all of your posts automatically. It should be a picture of or representing your character. To add a picture to your signature you will first need to have it uploaded onto a site such as www.photobucket.com .
When you have chosen the picture to use, you will then go into your profile, and go to Modify Profile. Scroll down to the Personal Information section and there will be a box labeled signature. You will insert the IMG code (labeled as such on photobucket, or the direct link to where the picture is hosted with the following code:
You should be aware that there is a signature limit on the site of 650x300, with no pictures bigger than the one below being allowed:

An Avatar or Icon is the picture that appears to the left of your posts, underneath your Display Name. You will again go to Profile ---> Modify Profile and then scroll down to Avatar URL. Here you will put the direct link/url of the picture that you have uploaded, NOT the IMG code. The maximum size and size of most avatars is 100x100 so you can enter 100 in the box for Width and Height, then scroll to the bottom and click Modify Profile to save it.
Personal Text[/size][/b]
Your Personal Text appears underneath your avatar on the left of the screen. It is often a quote, from the character or relating to the character, or a brief phrase describing the character. This can also be accessed from clicking Profile ---> Modify Profile. Scroll down to the box between Avatar and Signature labeled Personal Text. Your text can be typed in here.
Your Personal Text may be colored to match your Display Name and the color you are posting in (if you choose to change the color). If you would like to change the color of your personal text use the following code:
[color=red]Enter Personal Text Here[/color] (Whatever color you want to use for the personal text can be inserted to replace the word red here). Once it is entered, scroll down and click the modify profile button to save it. [/center]
