About
This guide was created to help explain all the new features to your profile.
This guide includes:
* How to Access Your Profile
* Saved Threads
* Message Center
* Profile Customization
* Halo 2 Stats
* Common Bugs
How to Access Your Profile
There are two ways to access your profile. The first way (and also the one I prefer) is to click on your name in the top right corner of the screen. The second way to open your profile is to Highlight My Stats and click on My Profile.
Reference: Accessing Your Profile
Once you perform one of those actions, you will be brought to your player hub.
Reference: Player Hub
Saved Threads
Saved Threads can be used to bookmark your favorite topics in the forums. If you have a good discussion going on and you have to get off for the night, just click Save Thread. Then, the next time your on, you can find your saved thread with one click instead of searching through the entire forum for it.
Reference: Where it is
Note: You should also be able to save threads from group forums. However, they might change this when they update groups.
Reference: How to Save a Thread
Navigating Your Saved Threads
Under your Player Hub, click Saved Threads. This opens all of your Saved Threads and you can scroll through and select one to jump straight to that topic.
Reference: Saved Threads
Message Center
When someone sends you a PM, it will be sent to your Message Inbox. There are two ways of accessing your Inbox. The first way is by clicking on it under your Player Hub. The second way (I prefer this one) is to just click Message Center to jump straight to your Inbox.
Reference: Accessing Your Message Inbox 1
Reference: Accessing Your Message Inbox 2
Inside the Inbox
Inside the Inbox, you can read and delete your messages. Click on a message to read it and then you can reply if you want to.
Reference: Checking Messages
Reference: Reading a Message
Profile Customization
When customizing your profile, you can do just about anything. When Profile Customization first opens, you can change your Avatar and your Profile Background.
Reference: Where it is
Reference: Avatars & Backgrounds
Note: Anytime you change your settings to your likings, click Save!
Personal Information
Here you can edit all of your Personal Information, including your signature, Xbox Live Gamercard*, and if you want to customize your gamertag Halo 2*. Read the explanations! All I will tell you is that signatures don't seem to have a limit, but they will be cut off if they are too long!
Reference: Personal Information
* Must have Xbox Live connected to your account.
Blocked User List
If someone is annoying the crap out of you, just add them to this list. It will automatically ignore all messages sent to you by them, I think :).
Reference: Blocked Players
Halo 2 Stats
When you link your Xbox Live account to your Passport ID, you will be able to view the stats of all the Halo 2 game that you play. Again, there are two ways of accessing it. The first is by clicking on Halo 2 Games under your Player Hub. The second way is to scroll down and click on either Halo 2 or your Gamertag.
Reference: Accessing Your Halo 2 Stats 1
Reference: Accessing Your Halo 2 Stats 2
Here you can view all of your games ever played.
