Profile Options

- Password
Passwords have no restrictions, but it is recommended that you type at least 6 characters, using a combination of characters and numbers. Both password fields must be the same, simply as a check that you typed it correctly.
Example: xd8bill
- Name
This is your real or displayed name. This is what will be shown throughout the forum, in place of your username.
Example: John Doe
- Email Address
This must be valid to register, and things may be sent to this email address by the forum, such as topic notifications. It is also required if you ever wish to retreive a forgotton password.
Example: me@mydomain.com
- Gender
You get two choices. Male or Female ;) This is an optional field to provide other users with your gender.
- Birthdate
Your birthdate, in MMDDYYYY form. The birthday is only used to ensure that you are old enough to register on the forum. It also allows YaBB to display special items on your birthday.
Example: 07 31 1981
- Location
This is an optional field. You may type your current location or where you live in this field. It is displayed in your profile for other visitors to see.
- Time Offset
This is a + or - number to add or subtract to the current time showing on the forum. The forum's server may be in a different time zone than your computer.
Example: Forum time shows 13:28, but your time is 14:28. Time Offset would be +1
- Signature
This is a brief message or list of urls's that you may type in. YaBBC code is allowed in your signature. Signatures are shown at the bottom of each of your posts.
Example: | my site | my other site |

-  Avatars

There is a possibility for you to make your posts personal. You can use the avatar pictures, provided by YaBB. If you want to make it really personal, and have your own server, you can link your Avatar to the url on your server, making it visible in the forum. like: http://www.mysite.net/avatar.picture (or something like this of course). If this doesn't work, you can e-mail your avatar picture attached to it in a .gif format (preferably in a small format) to admin@infinitequest.net, and we will take care of it as soon as possible.
