Backgrounds for the new profiles

**TATTOOED_1_ONE** · 11-29-2006, 03:19 PM

here is a short list of sites where you can get a background for the new profile pages, basically you save these to your computer and then on the zoints page click "edit style" and wait for it to load the editor tool, once it is loaded, click the first dot that says "edit style" it will open the second column in the second column click the dot for "page" and it will then open a third column in that column it has a box for you to upload what ever you want for a background so now click that and upload the background file you saved to your computer and if you want to share it so other members can use it click the button in the first column to share it otherwise just click "save changes" and you will now have a new background.

Hey this is great!

I'm actually enjoying just messing around with the different features. Linked my pix to the MTW gallery and created a second page just for my photos.

Added my "Vehicle" too.

I was just trying to download one of these backgrounds and 15 minutes later was still waiting for it to update the page! Any ideas on why? My connection is fine and my computer is not slow.

When ever that happens to me, I just cancel the download and restart it, it is usually just high demand on the servers at the time.

FYI, I assume you noticed the MY HOMEPAGE page that is "inactive" by default? Technically, with these new profile things we got going, the idea is you can have your own "website" here on MTW. And the profile page is just another page of your "website" that happens to be directly connected to your account on the rest of MTW.

Which site are you clicking "download" on? When I view the pictures, I'm just RIGHT CLICKING and choosing SAVE and save these things to my PC. If you hit download, they may feed you extra adware garbage.

I've already saved it, and am downloading it to the page for my background.

I tried it early this morning and still the same result. Maybe I'm just being to impatient?

Yep I saw that, I just haven't had any idea what to do with that page yet....but I'll think of something.

Did I mention that I love these new profiles??

FYI, you are technically UPLOADING those backgrounds into your profile.

DOWNload is going into your PC.
UPload is coming out of your PC.
