Not sure if this is how I add userboxes.
But here are some I made. Could somebody put on my talk page how to add userboxes? By add I mean make it so all you habe to do to add a userbox to a page is put in ((user:doctorwho)) or whateverSuperstarwarsfan (talk) 18:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I want to create user boxes for each belt-rank of Shotokan karate. I was thinking of having the shotokan tiger in it, to the left, with a message "This user is a brown belt karateka" with a brown background, for instance. I'd have another for each rank.
It's 100% true, but I wanted to make sure that this is allowed on Wikipedia. Superstarwarsfan (talk) 03:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
This user has been discriminated against because s/he was homeschooled
It should be ok imo - it's not divisive or overly controversial. xenocidic (talk) 15:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I dunno, I sort of feel that if you have to ask, its probably going to cause someone else to ask the same question? Legotech (talk) 17:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
i made some changes to the paintball one for you. blue links on a blue background make for tough reading =). xenocidic (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 02:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
You should really chose a more pleasent color for the paintball one. And also the picture of actual paintball match would be good. BonesBrigade 03:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Thats much much more pleasent. :) BonesBrigade 05:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
The first one is from the Honorverse series of novels by David Weber, if anyone's wondering. The Royal Manticoran Navy are the "good guys" in the series. The second box is to denote members of the United States Army Military Intelligence branch. The color for the box itself is as close as I could fiddle it to the actual branch color. (They're my first boxes, but I like how they turned out.)
Your welcome :) To change the size on an image to userbox-worthy just slap |50px after the image name Superstarwarsfan (talk) 01:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I would suggest changing the background color to make the word 'timpani' more noticable. ~ BellaSwan 20:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
colour of belt used (since clubs use varying colour schemes)
I've found that the basic colours are not good for the belt colours (example: using 'brown' as the second parameter looks more like a dark pink). See examples on Drmadskills/Userboxes for good sample colours.
Thought I should put my new userbox here after I failed my first one. User:KC109/Userboxes/Abortion Kills THE KC (talk) 22:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC).
Pardon me for possibly sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but I really have to question the appropriateness of a userbox that states an opinion as fact while yelling it in big red print. --Poochy (talk) 06:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

my own new box (i simply love wikipe-tan and i cannot help myself)
My first Userboxes! I finally figured how to construct 'em, so I thought I'd create a new Sweeney Todd UBX, and made a box for Tim Burton fans as well:

March 13 Trebuchet Userbox
Trebuchet
This user has built a Trebuchet and knows that trebuchets are not to be confused with wimpy catapults!
I couldn't find one out there and wanted to learn how make a userbox. Any suggestions to improve my first creation? --Sirtrebuchet (talk) 03:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I created a userbox for my college. It's the first userbox I created, so I was just wondering if people could check to be sure it's set up correctly.
I made two. Really, the first one may not be used. Second one may be used by my dad if he were on wikipedia. Ilikepie2221 (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I use Windows Live Mail as my email client, but the only box I could find was for Windows Live Hotmail which is different, being web-based email, not a program. So I made these -
