Having doubts and problems while making a profile?
Here is the correct place for you to ask!
Alternatively, you may also check out the Profile Design Updated thread for faster and more options from the majority.

LASTLY:
STRICTLY NO PROFILE REQUEST RELATED POST HERE.
If you admire someone's graphics alot and would like them to make you a layout, kindly contact the specified user by using your own way and ask for their permission instead. In addition, you could still asking help from people who are actually accepting profile requests through some other clubs on MAL.

Hence , let the discussion begin!

Can I ask my questions here? I am a little confused about a couple of things in the rules. :)

"No direct promoting of nominated profiles. Doing so will automatically disqualify the nominated profile. Users may not post "Thanks for voting for me/my friend/etc." graphics either during or after the Voting round is over. However, text on profiles with very little BBCode is allowed after the Voting round. If you have any doubts, ask an Admin."

I don't understand. Does this mean, that I can't tell my friends about my profile after been nominated, like let's say in a chat topic?

"Admins/Judges are not allowed to help a nominated user improve their profile. Doing so will disqualify the nominated user and the Admin/Judge will be removed from their position."

What about other users, can i ask for their opinions? But doesn't that cross what is stated in the first rule, that I can't promote my profile to others?

My profile isn't ready yet, so I haven't uploaded it yet. If I put it on now, can I ask other peoples opinions about it, and ask them how to make it better?

What site do you recommend, to be used for uploading the pictures? My photobucket account just told me that my pictures are too popular and take too much bandwidth, so I can't direct link them anymore, unless I pay for pro account...

Thanks in advance, I really want to make it into the competition. ^^

Hi Sebulon,

First of all, thank you for joining this club!

Regarding your questions,
"No direct promoting of nominated profiles. Doing so will automatically disqualify the nominated profile. Users may not post "Thanks for voting for me/my friend/etc." graphics either during or after the Voting round is over. However, text on profiles with very little BBCode is allowed after the Voting round. If you have any doubts, ask an Admin."

It's more like 'no direct asking/begging for votes when your profile has made into the voting round every month'. You can still tell others about your profile, nevertheless, telling them something further might lead you to disqualification though.

You can always ask for others options at this thread. However, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE/EDIT YOUR LAYOUT AFTER THE NOMINATION THREAD IS CLOSED.

So far the only image website I know (which supports large image files and works finely) is uploadgeek.com
If it still doesn't work, I think the best solution is to slice your profile layout into a few slices to reduce the image size.

If you still have any hesitation, feel free to ask! (^-^

Hello.

Just a quick Q.

How do I connect 3 pieces of a layout all in 1 row.
i.e. when I slice my profile layout and upload the image and copy img URL and post, each of the sliced images will go to the next line so the sliced images are never aligned next to each other.

The ideal size is 690x(doesn't really matter)px.

Weeeeell, if you want them in a row you simply need to post the code one after another without using spaces.
[*img]..URL..[*/img][*img]..URL...[*/img][*img]..URL...[*/img] ... (without *)
See? It should work like this.

Your profile layout is rather long and has many unused spaces, and it's not quite unique

Hey guys I was just wondering how you make such advanced, nice looking profile designs. the best thing on my page is a picture of my favourite anime characters and when clicked on goes to each of their MAL pages.

@Insaiyan: Any graphic editing software like Photoshop, GIMP, Coral, Inkscape, etc. To add links on your profile you just use the BBcodes.

I started working on a new profile last night which I've put on my profile. However it is incomplete and would like some feedback on it, plus anything you can advise on changing or adding. :)

I was just wondering if having the #listsurround section scroll instead of the whole page is this allowed? I've never seen any other lists that do this, so I'm not sure ^^;
