    This is the info from vbulletin.com on customizing your profile.. BTW, did you know you could do that? :kiss:

    We have created this document to help you understand how the new user profile customization variables work. We walk through the six groups of variables and show by screen shots how the various elements on the page are affected. In the screen shots below, everything except the settings group being demonstrated is set to “gray”. Also the colors used are selected to be very different. This is of course unlike any real page you will ever see, but makes it easier see what's happening. You might want to put on your sunglasses before proceeding.


    To get started, click on the "Customize Your Profile" button in the top right corner of your profile. This will open an overlay that provides the tools you need.

    .



    General Settings
    This section controls the overall page view.

    Are you using firefox?
    It stalled up loading for me, but pulled up fine in IE

    a dirty fix I know, but maybe with 4.0.9 it'll be working in firefox too :D
