I am a proud user of correct spelling and grammar.

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.

Reference: Stats of Games Played



Common Bugs

Note: If you use Safari, READ THIS!!

There's [currently] a bug in Safari where you can't access it the normal way.

Using those links is the only way to get to the player hub in Safari until it gets fixed.




If you are having any trouble at all, make sure you have one of the following web browser types:

IE7
IE6
Firefox 1.5
Firefox 2
Safari (most recent version)
Opera (most recent version)

Any browsers lower than these WILL NOT WORK!!!!!


If problems continue, post them in the Stickie titled "Please report bugs in the new site to this thread."

Also consider emailing any bugs to: bnetbugs@microsoft.com





Thank you for reading this guide, I hope it has helped you with whatever problems you are experiencing.

Well done nuclear halo. There is one mistake that I seen though:

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 left corner of the screen. The second way to open your profile is to Highlight My Stats and click on My Profile.

It is the top right.

With all of this and only that mistake, that I can see, all I can say is well done.

Good guide, but I'm sorry to inform you that Bungie already has one right here. But, most new people probably won't look in the Help section like I do, so this will still help those lazy people. :P

Good work Nuclear Halo on this awesome guide.

The pictures is what helps most people, even I had to look on how some stuff worked. You managed to explain your content clearly, but in short points, making it easier to read.

Bungie already has a help guide , but your pictures will help people who are more visual learners rather than language orientated.

Why thank you and to everyone else who has left a positive comment about my guide. I also fixed that error.


And VentriL, did you see the easter egg referring to Eternal War? It's in there!

I don't want to sound rude, but isn't this kinda pointless. Most of this stuff is common sence. To me atleast.

Maybe I'm smarter than the average user... I didn't need a guide.

I didn't need a guide either, but some users might need one. Especially any new ones. The Bungie community probably received a big increase after this update to a new site.

Nicely written and everything but kinda redundant since there is a help section for this kind of stuff.

Not only that but new members read the stickies just as much as they visit the help section.

I understand that some members might not read the stickies or the help Section, but I did when I joined.

Well done. This is something that a lot of people can use, but nobody might have otherwise thought to concoct. Good thinking!

Using those links is the only way to get to the player hub in Safari until it gets fixed. Might want to add that up there.
