| |
| − | [[Image:SF2.0Banners.png|200px|thumb|right|alt=^.^|Setting Custom Banners]]
| |
| − | This section deals with custom banners for SoFurry 2.0. The image to the right shows the locations of the features discussed below.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First some info. Banners come in two styles (Adult and All Ages) and two sizes (Standard & Mega). The banners appear to your visitors at the top of your user page. All banners must be properly tagged and in PNG, JPG, or GIF format.
| |
| − | * Standard Banners should be 728x90 pixels.
| |
| − | * Mega Banners should be at least 1024x200 pixels and the wider the better! (Note: Only the top 200 pixels of the image will be displayed.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | So how do you use them?
| |
| − | * Log in to SoFurry and float your mouse over your avatar in the top right of the header. In the menu that appears select '''settings'''.('''1''')
| |
| − | * Click the '''Banners''' link below your avatar on the settings page. ('''2''')
| |
| − | * Select the style of banner you wish to upload ('''3''') on the banners page and click the '''upload new banner''' button ('''4'''). Your browser will open a form for you to select your new banner. Choose your file and click '''Open'''. ('''5''') (Note: Your File Upload dialog form will probably look slightly different than the image.)
| |
| − | * If your banner contains adult content click the '''toggle''' link so that it says '''adults''' rather than '''all ages'''. ('''6''')
| |
| − | * You can delete a banner by clicking the '''delete''' link under the banner you wish to remove. ('''6''')
| |
| | | | |
| − | In summary: Don't forget to select what type of banner you want to use in your profile settings. If you upload a megabanner but only the small banners show up, check your settings, chances are it's still set to use the normal banners.

| − | Their are a variety of settings you can adjust on SoFurry to customize the way the website looks and interacts with you. The basic layout of the settings page is a list of commonly used settings located on the left hand side of the page and a set of tabs that make up the majority of the settings that you can change. To access any subset of the settings on the right, click the tab on the top to view or change any of the settings under that subset.

| | | | |
| − | ''Persistent (always on the page) Settings'': These settings are located on the left hand side of the page at all times.

| − | * '''Edit my Avatars / Avatars''': You may click the current avatar or click the link to Add / Edit and remove avatars. Use this to change the content level setting of your avatars.

However the '''Active Tag Filters''' are special. Any tags you add to this list will be filtered out from your viewing of SoFurry Content. (EX: If you don't want to see anything involving 'Latin Jazz' adding the 'Latin Jazz' tag to the ''Active Tag Filters'' will prevent ANY submissions with that tag from appearing to you on SoFurry.) Note: You are the only one who can see your Active Tag Filters and they can conflict with your likes / dislikes. (EX: You can have 'fox' in the Loves category but also in your active tag filters, preventing you from seeing anything tagged with 'fox'.)
