What are blinky profile images?
Like a gif?
I don't know if I've seen any on people's profile page but some as PFPs have been really annoying. Others not so much.

OPs description, not mine. Yes. Animated gifs as PFPs. They are terrible.

I agree. Slows everything down and a lot of them are too flashy.

Im new to BYC and i see people with cool profiles with blinkies and whatnot with their profile all decked out. How do i do that? ive only been able to figure out how to change my pfp. Also, what should i know abt BYC? Any tips are appreciated

Just a couple tips....
First things first you should add your general location to your profile before @aart catches you without one.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

You should probably "follow" some people. I suggest start with @The Moonshiner he's kind of a big deal and pretty awesome.
Once you start following members and members start following you those show up on your profile and add a little something something.

You can ad a signature which shows on your profile and also underneath all the posts you make. Well it shows for people that hold their phones sideways which is the only proper way.

I didn't notice a "banner" that's a bigger picture that also shows on your profile. It's pretty cool to have. You can see mine above. The spaceship.

That's a few things to get you started anyways.

Hi Welcome to BYC! alot of great tips already said lol, dont think there's anything I could add. Except you can go to account details and add an about so people can learn some more about you.

I second this! The moonshiner is really a great guy and should definitely be the first person everyone follows!

You could try your creativity out and make your own by going to https://www.bing.com/images/create That's where I get mine from.
