Description
ImportantPlease read the notes below to see the limitations on this code before you ask any questions!
The Custom User Boxes are a series of codes that allow you to customize your deviantART userpage. The code involved makes use of a glitch in deviantART, meaning that this code is not officially supported by deviantART, and may stop working correctly or entirely.
It is important to note that, due to the nature of this hack, this code can only be used by Premium Members of deviantART.
The Code
CONTENT HERE
How To Use It
Simply copy the code above and paste it into a Page Module on your userpage, modify it to your use, and it's ready to go!
Can be used in:
Custom Modules.
Cannot be used in:
Anywhere that is not a Page Module on deviantART. Cannot be used in Journals.
Cannot be used in any deviation module, such as the Featured Deviation or the Gallery Folder module! The Custom Background will always cover the deviations in that module, and there is no workaround.
Important Notes/Bugs
Cannot be used anywhere except in Custom Modules, see above.
This must be the first line of code in the Custom Module.
All of your other content, including other Custom User Boxes, must appear inside of the
For advanced deviants, the Custom Background code can be used to make layers of backgrounds by reusing the first part of the code. They will appear on top of each other in the order you put the code. This is tricky though so don't try it unless you're confident with HTML.
There is no way to repeat or stretch a background, so you must make your background image large enough to cover the module yourself!
The image will always be aligned to the left side, there is no workaround to this.

Dont get upset.
You put the code only in custom backrounds. And you must be a premium memebr
Then where it says DIRECT LINK TO IMAGE, I tell you.
First, upload a pic as a backround to Deviantart, google the size, i just guessed 1000x5000 (To big, so find the correct size) then upload it. After that, go click the download button to donwload your own image. It should bring you to a page with a link, that is the image source. If you click download but it dosent bring you to the correct page, then
IF YOU ARE USING INTERNET EXPLORER:
Click download on the image and then click "View Sorce".
IF YOU ARE USING GOOGLE CHROME:
Click download on your BG imagine, then right click the image, and copy the URL
IF YOU ARE USING FIREFOX:
Click Download on your BG Image that you want to use...
Next right click and click "View Image" (the image should now refresh or open in another window)
The URL that you need should now be at the top, paste this code along with the Custome BG code into your box and follow the rest of the instructions.
then paste your image source into the correct area of the code.
Next, when you copy and paste the code into your custom box,
"Content here" means whatever you want in the box.
All your typing or such.
then at the end, make sure you keep the < /div> there or else it wont work.
Gawd, all that typing, hope it helped.

My guess is that Deviantart prevents hotlinking, try saving that image to your scraps or something and link to there instead.

Oh noes, im sorry its not the right size.
It should be 800x1000 (Or 800x6000, it just wont go super long.)
Once you have made the correct size, submit it to your scrap or whatever you want then tell me.
