How to Edit your Site Profile
Howdy! I thought I'd post a guide on how to customize your profile on the MR website, simply because the forum uses a few custom stuff you might not be familiar with. I'll (try to) keep this thread updated in case MR gets a forum update.
To Start Off
What exactly is the stuff in my profile?
Mini-Profile
How Can I Edit Stuff?
Simple! First, you have to click on your Profile on the forum navigation:
When you are on your profile, click "Edit Profile":
You'll be redirected to your profile settings, which is exactly where we want you to be. Sorta. The profile settings have quite a lot of tabs:
Avatar - used to change your avatar
Personal - information about you, we'll be working with this one the most!
Social - out-dated tab where you can write your usernames for your social media. It's out-dated, seriously who uses Skype when we have Discord?!
Settings - basic forum settings
Privacy - basic privacy stuff, you can change who do you want to see your e-mail, birthday, etc.
Notifications - when do you want the forum to notify you
Badges - some badges you can buy with real money
Avatar is pretty self-explanatory (I hope), so let's jump to Personal:
Display Name
Here you can change the name you'll be seen under on the forum. Note that this does not change your username.
Display Name vs. Username
Username is the name you used to register onto the forum. It is also used to tag someone on the site (@username). It cannot be changed. Display Name is the name you're seen under on the forum.
Website Name & Website URL
These two things are connected. If you have a DeviantArt account, Tumblr or any blog of your own, you're welcome to share it with us via these two fields. Website Name is the name of the website, and Website URL is the link to the website.
Signature
That thingy that is below every post of yours. According to the forum rules, your signature should be no bigger than 500 x 150, but a small banner-like image should do just fine. Please note that your signature cannot be too tall, or too long so that it would stretch the forum. If your image is too big, you can mess around with the width of the image. ProBoards's signature field accept BBCode, keep that in mind while editing your signature.
Pronouns
Your preferred pronouns we should use when referring to you (he/his, she/her, it/its, etc.)
Username
Your in-game username on Mythical Realms.
Characters
Your characters for Mythical Realms. For the sake of saving space, I would recommend listing only a few of your characters (3), or list only the character you're most frequently seen on.
Cover Photo
If you scroll up to the very first image of this guide, you will figure out that Cover Photo is that big image that covers a portion of your forum profile. I would recommend any banner-like image that isn't too small. The forum will crop the image as it needs, but if you don't want your cover image to be cropped, the recommended dimensions are 1000 x 315.
If you want to add your cover image, the forum only accepts valid URLs of pictures. If your picture is already on the internet, simply right click it and select "Copy URL". If your image is not on the internet, upload it to sites like imgur.com
Hover Image
Hover image is the image that covers your mini-profile. The recommended dimensions of this one are 300 x 220 (ratio 15:11). If you enter an image with a different ratio, the forum will crop the image as it needs.
Other Tips
If you go into Edit Profile -> Settings, you can select the option to "Save Drafts" this will save your posts time to time. When you accidentally close your browser while writing a new post, it gives you a chance that the post has been saved and you can continue in it. This doesn't work all the time, but it still gives you a chance that you don't have to start all over again!
That's probably all. I hope that this guide helped to clear some things up. If not, feel free to reply to this thread and I'll respond ASAP! ^^
