Setting Up Your Profile

Your profile is how the rest of the community gets to know you. Here's a quick walkthrough of everything you can customize.

Avatar

Head to Profile → Edit Profile and click your avatar. You can upload a JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP image up to 2MB. Your avatar shows up next to every post you make and on the category thread list.

Bio

Write a short bio (up to 300 characters) that appears on your public profile page. Tell the community a bit about yourself — your favorite player, how long you've been a Vikings fan, whatever feels right.

Signature

Your signature appears below every post you write. It supports full rich text — bold, italic, links, images, and more. Keep it under 500 characters. To save, click the Save Signature button.

Display Preferences

Under the Display Preferences section you can control two things:

  • Threads per category page — how many threads show on a category listing (10, 25, 30, or 50)
  • Replies per thread page — how many posts show per page inside a thread (10, 20, 25, or 50)
  • Thin Category View — toggle this on to hide avatars and the participant stack on thread lists, giving you a more compact view

Hit Save Preferences after changing the thread/reply counts. The thin category view toggle saves instantly.

Notification Preferences

Scroll down to Notification Preferences to choose exactly what sends you a notification. You can toggle each type on or off individually — replies to your threads, @mentions, quotes, DMs, and more. Changes save the moment you flip the toggle.

Username Change

Want a different username? Submit a request under the Username section. An admin will review and approve it. You can include a note explaining why.
