& One question that hopefully you can answer: How do I get the avatars of people who comment me not to display?

[miimic]

in the labels section, it lists all the different names of the stuff in your profile. go to comments and find the avatar labels and add the delete code to it, i would tell you the whole code but i dont remember what the avatars are called:

avatar label {display:none;}

I will be trying to make a profile next time. Done reading all of them. biggrin

@ Cute as a l3utton- the label/selectors to delete the commetors as Ko12n would be #comments .avatar img, #comments .avatar2 img 3nodding

BBC code is simply forum code, which are tags like these arrow [img] [/img]

You'd use these tags to force an image to display like this-

[img]URL OF IMAGE HERE[/img]

example directly below-

And that would show up as this-


And this would be pasted into the About Me

#comments .caption { background : black ; }
#comments .caption2 { background : CC00CC ; }

This code should be changing my profile comment colors, the black is working, but when I go to look at the profile, the purple color I want shows up as white. I know for a fact that this is a color, and I don't know why it's not working.

Also, I notice that when I go on firefox that it screws up my profile code and doesn't show my images if I use photobucket, and it makes things that I have put as invisible show.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Burnt Secret]

When using a hexdecimal value for your color, you need to append a pound sign (#) before the actual value. Example: #CC00CC.

When using Firefox, be sure to put the single quote/apostrophe before the image URL and after the image URL inside the parenthesis's.
EX: #section {background: ('url here');}

Photobucket is fine.

[Lady Crescendo]

Stupid, probably obvious question, but if we use a picture from photobucket, do we provide credit?

[Brink Kale]

If you are selling your profile or otherwise putting it on showcase for profit then yes. If it is solely for personal use or other non-profitable motives then it would be nice to credit the original maker of the image in question but not mandatory. More information on this topic can be found here. Please keep in mind that profit is profit be it in virtual currency or not.
