Did You Know?
Our Forum may be a little different from what you're accustomed to. Sometimes finding things can be a little tricky here. A couple of commonly sought out areas are where to go to modify your avatars, signatures, and forum skins. You can also change the way your name is displayed in your profile and posts.
- Under The Apparatus banner, click on Profile.
- Click on Modify Profile.
* Display Name: While your Username can't be changed, can't contain spaces or special characters, and defaults to all lower case letters, you can change your Display Name to anything you want.
Please make sure your in-game Ruler or Nation Name matches your account. They are being validated manually until further notice for spam and security reasons.
* Avatar: You can use any of our pre-loaded Avatars by choosing one from the dropdown menu, or link directly to one of your own choosing by filling out the Avatar URL field. The DEFAULT dimensions are 65x65, but MAXIMUM dimensions are 100x100. You can override the default dimensions by filling in the Avatar Width and Height fields yourself.
* Signature: Other forums use different tags. BBC works here. Surround your signature's URL in the following tags:
[img]url[/img]
To center, use:
[center][img]url[/img][/center]
* Select Skin: Scroll on down until you see Select Skin, and choose the skin you want from the dropdown menu. Default is Apparatus Default, which is a dark themed skin. If you prefer to read dark text on a light background instead, choose Apparatus Light.
This should help you navigate around here a little more easily, but I'll be happy to answer any other questions you may have about this forum or your account.
