A few questions I hope you can answer.

I have 2 purple Kois

and

As far as I can tell they are the same breed and from the same year (just a few months difference in age). The thing is there is no Breed button for them. Why is that? One was from a breeding so I don't understand why mine don't have the breed option.

Also I have gone into other members profiles and seen different backgrounds on them, how can I make mine different looking?

1. Purple Koi Fish from the pond cannot breed. They just can't, so it's normal that there is no such button on their page. ^^ If I may ask, what do you mean by "one was from a breeding"?

Also, the date the creatures were born on doesn't affect their ability to breed. Once your creature reaches adulthood, it will be able to breed with any other creature it is compatible with (if the species can breed in general, of course).

2. You need a custom CSS for a different background on your profile. See this thread for one of the tutorials.

1: Wonderful.

Wish I had known that before I shelled out money for them. Sorry that was my mistake I was looking at a different creature at the time.

2: ummm CCS? I'm not tech savvy so will this be easy for me to follow? I looked it over and the ones I have seen were not just a flat color as listed. How do I do something like that? And I have no idea how to do the code bit

and how and where do I put it in my profile?

1. Well, sorry about that. But maybe you could simply sell them if you don't need them, now that you know they cannot breed? I'm pretty sure it's possible to sell those for 3,000g each and more.

Ah, perhaps you were looking at the Stream Koi? ->

Those can breed (and are pretty good at it, I'd say xD).

2. Errr, well, users who do not know how to make CSS can request them in a special forum section. I have never done that before, to be honest, so I'm not sure, but I think you can find some shops of different sorts here: 51-seller-s-gallery.html There are CSS shops in the Seller's Gallery.

But I think CSS is not too difficult. If Tristan's tutorial doesn't look too simple to you, perhaps there are other ones on the Net or even here on the forum? :]

CSS is possible to edit in your User Control Panel. Go to the UCP -> Profile -> Edit Profile. There should be a box called "Custom CSS", the code goes there. If you want to change only the colour of the main background, you should put the following there if I'm not mistaken:

Code: Select all

body
{
background-color: #000000;
background-image: none;
}

Replace the "000000" with the colour you prefer :3
If you want an actual background, replace the "none" after "background-image" with a link to your desired image.

As an example, here is what I have in my profile for the background part:

Code: Select all

body
{
background-color: #1a0e21;
background-image: url(http://i46.tinypic.com/214pa4y.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

You can try it on yours, but please do not keep it there, the image was made by me xD

I guess I will have to do that with them then.

I tried both codes that you gave me and nothing changed except way down on the bottom of my profile. When I clicked onto yours the whole page was different. So I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

*nods* Good luck selling =)

Hmmm, I don't know, really. Now that I try it, it seems to work for me. I've cleared my CSS box and put the code I posted above, and it's fine. Have you copied absolutely everything? Like, the brackets and all.
*shrugs* No idea what's the problem xD

EDIT: B-but wait, your profile does have a background for me oO

Thanks I will need it.

And yes I put everything in the box that you posted.

Odd why does it look like this to me ?

Because some CSS only change the background not the whole profile, if you want one that fills out the whole profile you'll have to either make one yourself or buy one from a CSS shop.

*scratches head* No idea.

Ah. It looks like that by me when I make the browser window smaller. The purple background should be there for you, it's just that you cannot see it because of the window, how wide is it?

But then why when I used ZzelaBusya's code it did not fill out the full page?
