I've been using the RGR on vizzed for a about a year and noticed that some people have a profile picture, or on occasion an animation in place of a picture. Do i have to unlock the ability to post a profile picture/animation, If so what are the requirements? Some of the post i've seen have a picture behind it instead of the default background. How do i do that? I would appreciate an answer to either of these questions.

Hello there and welcome to the forum part of vizzed, at least.    You can change your profile picture (the picture that appears on their profile), but going to that link in the upper left corner which says "Edit Profile and Settings".  From there, you should see an option to change your profile pic.  Just be sure that the picture is saved to your computer and that it's less than 100kB in size!

As for the pictures behind posts, those are called layouts.  Right now, since you'd be considered a newbie, you wouldn't be able to make a really fancy one yourself.  You can find the link to change your layout in the same "Edit Profile and Settings" page.  Below the profile picture, you'll see a green link which says "Edit Layouts", and you need to click on it.  From there, you can use the basic layout editor.  It will give you some options on the side to format your posting area, but you'll have to design it in three horizontal strips.  Make sure that whatever images you want in your layout though, you have uploaded directly to vizzed.

If you don't want to make one yourself, or you want a fancier one, you have two options.  You can either post around and become known and trusted, thus getting trusted status when people rate you up.  This would give you access to the advanced editor, but you'd have to know html or css coding to make one.

Otherwise, you can buy one here in one of the layout shops.  If you're interested, this is my layout shop, specifically.  

If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask!

Thanks for answering that question.
