Adding userboxes to your user page
You can also add various user boxes to your user page to spice it up a bit. For example, you can use the following to show your current skill levels (I don't know all of them, but I've filled some in as an example:

Just cut and paste the text into your user page (which you can edit by clicking on the "edit" tab when looking at your user page).

You can also add other userboxes that give more information about your play, such as whether you are a member, etc. Look here for some examples.

 * You just need to select the text, then do a copy (Control-C) and then go back to your user page, then edit the page, then go to where you want the stats and then page (Control-V). If you want, I can copy it onto your user page for you.


 * Also, the table contents will automatically appear once you have more than 3 heading. There are ways of forcing it to appear even with 3 or less headings if you really want (by typing something like ).  16:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yea Amaurice could you please paste it on this time? thx much i promise ill lean how to pste pics next time --Vex 327 16:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Vex 327


 * Okay, I've pasted it in under your "what's coming" heading. You can then moved it around when editing easier now. The other user boxes are much shorter, so worst comes to worst you just type in the bits anyway. Have fun editing. 16:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh yes, and you'll need to fill in your other skill levels. I only got the ones I could from the highscores. 16:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The error you are getting from the user stats template is because some of the skill levels are not numbers (because they contain "*" characters in them), so when it attempts to add the numbers together to give the total skill level, it's giving an error. I assume the "*" ones are the ones you are not sure about and are going to check later, so when you have checked them and remove the "*", then all will be well again. 16:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Runecrafting stats
Looks like I made a mistake copying your skill levels in from the official highscores. On the highscores, the name of the skill is "Runecraft", but the template expected it to be called "Runecrafting". I've corrected that now, so your runecrafting level should show up okay now. 13:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * yes thx a bunch Amaurice, but i still want to know how 2 move my stat box 2 where i want it....--Vex 327 16:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)vex 327


 * The stat box is a right aligned table (by default) so sticks to the right hand side of the page. The "top" of the box will be positioned where ever it appears in the source. So, to move it up the page, just move the whole block (from the ).


 * As for the user boxes, check the userboxes page. For example, under the Miscellaneous userboxes you will find the ones like the character name, etc, that you are asking about. 17:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

improvements
Your page could do with some more colour at the top? and some more features; feel free to take bits from other pages and adapt them for yours if the coding is a prob, its all gfdl so you can copy. Have a browse of other people for ideas. 21:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * kk thx will do. --Vex 327 17:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)vex 327

something good for your page
this is an example of another users monster box, it looks pretty cool as it shows you and a bit about you, it is also funny, I will add a blank to your user page, if you want to add a pic of yourself and some info go ahead, if you don't like this idea just delete it. 13:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
