Have a question about the Profile? Look here.
How do you get to your Profile? At the top, it says "Hey, YOURDISPLAYNAME, you have x messages, x are new." Click your display name. Then, click Modify Profile.
Note: It tells you what everything is on some of these pages, but I'm putting my short, simple, untechnical definitions for fun. x3
Your Profile[/u]
Account Information
• Username (The name you use to sign in)
• Password and Confirm Password (Put in your new password here, if you'd like to change it. If not, I advise not touchng it. x3)
• Email Address (Just put your email here )
• Display name (Put what you would like to be known as on the site here. Example: My username is admin, but my display name is Mouse, which is what you all see me as.)
Personal Information
• Gender (Are you a girl or a boy?)

Account Preferences

• Mass Emails (If I want to email everyone, and you want to receive emails from me when I do that, Opt-In. If not, Opt-Out. I'm more likely to PM (private message) all.)

• Show Signatures (Want to see everyone's signature?)
• Show Avatars (Want to see everyone's avatar?)
• Show Images (Want to see images people post and whatnot? Select yes. Note: If your computer is really slow and you want to go faster on the forum, select no. It'll lessen the load time on the pages. That goes for all images... x.x)

Dates and Times
