Hi Neville!
You have to use a picture from your "forum profile album" as the background image for your forum profile page. Read here: http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/ho...ile-album.html on how to add pics to your forum album.

About friends: whenever you request a friendship they have to agree to it. If they do agree to it then they show up in your friends list.

Oh! i have another question, before i add someone to my friends list, i have to take his/her permission, right? because when i added some members on my list it said friendship requested but later i saw them as friends!
Thanks for acepting my friendship!

Hello Mike! Thanks for the Profile thing, it is so cool! your background looks great; how can i add a background? i can see only a box in my profile, do i have to add a Link! Can i download a background picture from my PC? Thanks
