***THIS IS FOR PREMIUM MEMBERS ONLY, BASIC MEMBERS CANNOT WORK WITH LAYOUTS OR CSS***

Understanding that most here rate profiles on appearance rather than content, here's a quick tutorial on how to produce a forced layout for your profile.

First, find the look that suits you. In doing so remember that the site has a policy regarding nudity. If you have not read this or any other part of the VR Manual now should be the time.

For your icons, logos and even the "Online" placard that shows, everything must be in GIF format that you use. There are a lot of ways that you can produce these icons, though personally I prefer Adobe Photoshop for the extensive set of tools you have at your disposal with the program and the fact that it's as close to being a "one size fits all" app that you'll find. As far as sizing is concerned, use your browser to check the dimensions of the default logos and icons. Looks better usually and won't stretch your page out.

After you have your chosen image, it's time to place them in your chosen file storage. Premium members get 40 MB for storage, which should be more than enough for your chosen layout.

Now, for how to apply. Please refer to the screenshot below.



Please note that the CSS file is not required to show your icons, only the Graphics Path URL. Your graphics path should always look like this:

https://www.vampirerave.com/premium/files/xxblackenedxwingsxx/

After applying the URL and choosing your desired page layout to force, just click Submit and you're done.
