<---- click my username, and check out my profile. I'll show you a few tips to set yours up just like that.

For these options, follow this path on the forum.

Click "Profile" > then look for "Ultimate Profile" link in your profile.

Make sure to "enable" your Ultimate profile while in this menu.

[size=20pt]Custom Background Image.[/size]

For a pic to be used as your profile's background, just copy this code, place your background image where it asks in the green portion below, then paste the code under your "customization" box. The same box we'll be putting your profile music, explained in the next section.

<style>
body
{
background: url(ImageAddress) #000000 fixed;;
}</style>

[size=20pt]Video In Profile[/size]

Very simple. Just find a video from youtube you want. And copy the <EMBED> button directly under the video, and copy the code that pops up.

The code will begin with something like this <object width="480" height="385">

Then in your Ultimate Profile Options, paste inside the "My Media" box. Viola!

[size=20pt]Music in Profiles[/size]

When members click on your profile, this neat trick will have a song playing ... of your choice.

First, goto youtube, and find your song on a video. Copy the url, The url for example...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYgXvkNGjmA <----- video ID is in green

The youtube video's ID code is in green. It comes after the equal sign ( = ) in the url. Remove http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= from the url, and Add that video ID at the end, into the green portions of the code below. Then add the code at the top of Customization: in your Ultimate Profile Settings.

<div style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="25"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HERE;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HERE;autoplay=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="25" /></object></div>

Once you have your music code ready, under your Ultimate Profiles option, paste the code in the box labeled, Customization ... at the very top.

[size=20pt]Colours in Names[/size]

Click profile > forum profile infomration, and scroll down until you see nickname colours box, then follow the directions to the side.

If you use hex codes, be sure to put # before each hex code, i.e #000000. Separate each hexidecimal value with a comma. An example string would be like this:

#000000,#bb0050,#ff00aa

This will produce a string of three repeating colours. Spaces in a username will count as a character--bear that in mind if your name uses spaces and you are planning a long string.

Here is a site to get hex values for colours. You can make gradients here. Another awesome colour site.
