Sonic News Network:Userboxes

Userboxes are small colored boxes designed to appear on user pages. They generally include a small graphic and a few short lines of text. Userboxes started their use with a template, but over time users have preferred to use images made in Microsoft Paint, GIMP, or another image editor. These boxes are 150x80 pixels with a black border and a square for text and a smaller square for a graphic. Due to its small size, users have typically used sprites as graphics. On the other had, its small size allows users to put a large amount on their page.

Users have used userboxes for years to express themselves and easily share their interests with other users. One of the most common user boxes on SNN is "Respect this user, for he/she is him/herself!", or some variation, with an image of their fan character or their favorite Sonic character.

Here, you can find a list of the most common userboxes on SNN and how to use the userbox template. The majority of these userboxes where made by Admiral Leviathan, Mewkat14, and SilverPlays97. To see all the userboxes users have created, see Category:Userboxes.
