I downloaded it, then it came out as a picutre I mean. I need to link to blue & pink.
So I do it in imageshack & use it as a custom.

firstfear In reply to YoursTrulyAurora [2012-06-05 21:12:48 +0000 UTC]

Again...Read the instructions please.

The instructions say to upload the image you wish to use to your SCRAPS here on DA, not imageshack or an offsite imagehost. You -must- upload them to your scraps here on DA and you must link credit back to me in the uploads description.

you are still being VERY vague about what you don't know how to do.

but uhmm its too small what i can doo ??

firstfear In reply to Zed-J [2011-11-19 16:55:24 +0000 UTC]

You'll need to be more specific than that please .

Too small in what way? These images will only be 'too small' if the content in your box is TOO BIG, or you shrunk the image somehow.

Custom box backgrounds cannot be tiled. Meaning it's only going to display the BG image -once-. therefore if your content makes the box bigger then the BG image..you're going to end up with area at the bottom that doesn't have a BG. You can fix this by simply opening the BG image in photoshop(or gimp, etc) and repeating the pattern to fit the image size you need.

Did you follow instructions in the Description though? I do not see any file uploaded to your scraps so you didn't follow them properly if you did . If you upload the image to photobucket or some other free image host you may find that THEY shrink the image b/c it's larger than they will host for you. You must upload the image to your scraps here on DA (giving me credit in the description) and then follow the instructions in the description here.

Hello there. I was wondering if you knew how to get the custom paper behind the other boxes that are not custom? Like behind the Featured Deviation and Deviantart ID?

firstfear In reply to Darknessunderthemoon [2011-10-26 16:22:39 +0000 UTC]

This is not possible as far as I'm aware . You would need to use a custom box and simply put the information in it that would normally have gone in those non custom boxes and remove the original. IE remove your featured deviation box and then create a custom box with the same info the featured deviation box had

Darknessunderthemoon In reply to firstfear [2011-10-26 16:28:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, I've seen it around on people pages. So I thought maybe it was. >.< I've tried that, but the image comes out very small.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

firstfear In reply to Darknessunderthemoon [2011-10-26 16:42:13 +0000 UTC]

What do you mean by the image comes out very small? What image? If you look on my main page my 'webcam' box isn't actually DA's webcam box. I used a custom box and an image code to place my picture in there. The image isn't 'very small' so you must not be doing something right

are you trying to use the thumbnail codes or are you actually using html to display the image at full size?

<*img src="image url goes here"> (without the *)

To find an image url you view it at fullsize and right click>copy image location (or something to that effect)

Darknessunderthemoon In reply to firstfear [2011-10-26 17:08:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh! See, I was using thumbnail because somebody else told me to do that, so I thought that was how but then it always kept coming out small and I was thinking 'how is anybody going to see that?!' But I was wrong.

But thank you very much for the help. I will see if that helps and stuff. >.<

firstfear In reply to Darknessunderthemoon [2011-10-26 17:10:41 +0000 UTC]

no problem, let me know if you need further help :3. Thumbnails are good for featuring multiple images in one space, but not for displaying the full thing

firstfear In reply to MimiStars [2011-09-18 18:29:43 +0000 UTC]

when you go to submit a new image to your gallery, instead of choosing a category to submit to (ie Traditional, Digital, Photography, etc) you need to select 'Scrapbook' instead . It is the 2nd option along the left when you attempt to choose a category.
