A profile is your page on xat where you can put profile information, photos, widgets, music and videos. This guide will help you set up your profile.
Viewing a profile
To view your profile, click your avatar. To view someone else's profile, click their avatar and it will then pull up their profile. There you will see what the user has said about themselves.
You can also view someones profile by using these links: xat.me/i=IDHERE or xat.me/REGNAMEHERE, for example: xat.me/i=7 or xat.me/Darren. Note This method only works some of the time though.
Standard xat profiles
Standard xat profiles are the profiles edited using the basic settings. On the left hand side will be their avatar, homepage, name, and registered name, and on the right, you will see their "About Me" section. If they don't have anything written, it will say "P" or it will be blank. Below is their Media Box, where you can see playlists, videos, chats, polls, or anything else they might have added!
Advanced xat profiles
Advanced xat profiles are the profiles edited using CSS code that allows further customization. The standard CSS space is 1240 bytes, if you want to expand, you need to buy Me power that expands CSS code to 10240 bytes. Please read CSS Guidelines before you get started.
Editing your profile
To edit your profile, go to http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/editprofile.php and log in using your registered username and password. Make sure you're on xat.com and not another site. From there, you will see different sections to edit.
Changing Backgrounds and Outlines
When editing your profile, the first box at the top will be a background box for you to edit. You can enter the link to an image, or use CSS Styling to further-enhance your background picture. To get a picture, you must go to http://photobucket.com, http://tinypic.com, http://imgur.com or http://imageshack.us and upload your picture there. Then after uploading, copy the "Direct Link" from the box, and put that direct link in the Background box of your profile. You can also make your "About Me" background be separate from your main page background.
To change the Outline box, change the outline width (how big it looks), and the color (use hex colors or color names, example red, blue or #000000).
About Me Section
The profile "About Me" section includes a WYSIWYG Editor, for easy profile editing. To enable this, check the "Use WYSIWYG editing (beta)" box, and then click Save Changes at the bottom. When it re-loads the page, you will see the WYSIWYG options at the top of the profile box. To know what each icon does, mouse-over the icon and it should say what it will do when you click it.
Picture Album
To use the Picture Album, enter the link to your photobucket album. Note the album must not require a password to enter. To change this, click Account Options at the top right of any photobucket page (when signed in). Then scroll down to Album Settings, and make sure it says your album is Public.
When you enter your photobucket link, it will show your entire album under your About Me section of your profile. Anybody can view your pictures. Make sure you don't have any pictures on the album you wouldn't want anyone on xat seeing! If they click a picture, they will see it in fullscreen mode.
Media Box
The media box (which is below the About Me box) allows for a full range of embeds or HTML support. If you need any ideas of things to add, head over to http://xat.com/web_gear/ and view the many things you can add, all created by xat.
- To add a song to play in the background see "Widgets" below.
Inappropriate Profiles
If you stumbled upon a profile that breaks the xat terms of service, please click the "Inappropriate" link at the top (under the advertisement), and enter the required information. Your report will be sent to xat and will be dealt with appropriately.
Impersonating Celebrities
Profiles impersonating celebrities will be removed as this severely breaks our terms of service. However, xat supports "role-playing" and other such games on our service, and as such this should be clearly noted on the profile so other users are aware that you are not the real identity behind the profile. This is extremely important to keeping our service safe and fun for all users. Profiles not marked clearly enough will be removed at our discretion.
Widgets
How do I add music to my xatspace?
Login to your xatspace by going to http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/editprofile.php
Pick the song you want from youtube and go to xatalert's music generator http://xatalert.com/music-generator
