Congrats! Keep improving--and don't get down when you lose. Learn from your losses.

Sorry you feel that way. She has never done anything to me that would indicate that she has a bad attitude. In fact, the one thing she has done she was very apologetic for. I just think that all of our new folks deserve second chances. We were all new at one point and we all make mistakes.

Lol. Nice to meet you too.

Unfortunately I don't recall any such issue occurring on my end or from anyone I know.
Try re-uploading the image to wherever you had it.

Certain spots of the page layout share the same code and will cause images/colours to look very disorienting and all over the place.
As I said, the old layout was much, much better.

It used to be MUCH more appealing before this large forum update that turned the whole place white and grey. :V

*edit* Woops I read 'how' as 'why'.
Do you mean the use of custom imagery on the side?
If you go to your page and click on 'customize profile' you'll see a drop-down of multiple options including button and text colours.
If you want a custom image displayed, you can make one and upload it to an image sharing site like photobucket, deviantart, imgur and all that then right-click and view the image.
Once you've done this, you can copy the URL of the image and paste it into the text box of whatever you want to change. :3
