Again, thanks to Pichu_Pichu for the info.

Members have the ability to change how many posts they see on a single page; guests have to make do with the default. Consider another incentive to sign up.

To change this amount, click on "Edit Profile," which is located on the Control Panel on the left-hand side.

Scroll to the bottom of that page. You'll find a tab labelled "Forum posts per page." You can change this value to 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100. Once you've picked whatever value you want, click "Save Changes," and you'll be all set.

You'll notice there are two numbers in that column, one stacked on top of the other. The top number represents the total number of posts in that thread. The bottom number, the one in parentheses, represents the number of posts that have been added to that thread since you last clicked on it.

First, click on Edit Profile.

At the top of the screen, you will notice a tab marked "Create VGChartz Sig." Click on it to arrive at a new screen.

You will find a tab next to the words "Available Sigs." Click on it. That tab contains all the VGChartz sigs you can use at the moment. Select whichever one you like best. It will bring up a blank sample. If you don't like it, choose another.

If you're satisfied with the design, you can now scroll down and change the size, style, and color of several variables. Play around with it if you want, or leave all of them at their default value. Click on the "Preview" button, on the bottom of the screen, to see if you're happy with the changes you've made. If you're not, you can always click "Reset" to start from scratch. Once you're done customizing, click on "Get Code."

This brings you to a new screen. Simply copy everything in the "Forum Code" box, and then, when you edit your sig,* paste that code in. And that's it!

First, click on "Edit Profile," which you can find on the Control Panel on the left.

At the top of the page, you'll find a tab labelled "Codes/Tags/IDs." Click on it to arrive at a second page.

Here, simply type in whatever your code/tag/ID is for your console, then click on "Save Changes."

Once you've done this, the site will automatically post your code underneath your avatar for each game that you register with this site as owning. To see the codes of other members who have the game, simply visit the game's page on this site, and you'll see the codes listed underneath their avatar, assuming they've gone through the steps outlined above. So, to make life easier for everyone, please add your codes to your profile.

Wii and DS owners have an extra hoop to jump through. Because Friend Codes are often unique to individual games, you'll have to insert your code into each individual game's page. Simply go to the game's page on this site, and in the middle of the screen you'll see a box labelled "Online Friend Code." Type in yours, click "Submit Code," and your info will be displayed under your avatar in the Game Owners box.

To change your password, click on "Edit Profile" on the Control Panel.

At the top of the page, you'll find a tab labelled "Change Password." Click on it to arrive at a new screen.

From here, simply type in your old password, your new password, and then your new password again, then click Save Changes. And you're done!

Again, click on "Edit Profile," located on the Control Panel to the left.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll see a box labelled "Hide Sigs in Forums." Click on the box, then on "Save Changes," and you'll never have to see the pesky things again. Unless you unclick the box later, of course.
