TOYHOU.SE TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
Hi! I’m new to Toyhou.se, and only started dipping my toes into coding a few months ago.
Although I can’t code properly yet, I still have some tips for getting into use of the website.
Disclaimer: This is only useful for very new beginners, I am not claiming to understand any of what I’m talking about!
1. FINDING YOUR PROFILE CODING THINGY
To code your profile, you need to go to settings, as seen here:
It’s going to be a bit overwhelming, but familiarise yourself with each tab of your settings bar.
Here is where you want to go:
The biggest part of using this HTML code box is to disable the WYSIWYG, which will allow you to actually input HTML and run it.
You do that by tapping this:
You can find HTML templates by browsing.Â
The search page is pretty self explanatory, just have a flip through and familiarise yourself with the search settings. These settings are very diverse, and you should have no issue perusing the website to its full potential.
If you want to find codes type “profile” into the tags bar, that usually works for me
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using a template or code made by someone else, remember to read the rules of the code, boundaries are important! And make sure you always credit. The credit will often already be provided, so make sure to not obscure that. If it is, add credit somewhere visible on the page.
2. UPLOADING A CHARACTER
You can create a character here:
It will always be customisable, so if you need to customise it after submission, here’s how you find it again:
You’re gonna want to click on the characters icon:
And from there, search for CONTROL SETTINGS in the bar to the left. It will be in Manage Character > Edit Profile:

4. CODE LINES THAT MIGHT SAVE YOUR ASS SOME SEARCHING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION
For Full-Page Backgrounds:
<div style="position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0; background:url(IMAGE URL HERE) fixed center;background-size:cover;width:100%;z-index:-1;"></div>
For Full-Profile Backgrounds:
<div class="col-lg-2 col-md-3 hidden-sm-down sidebar" style="height:75px;position:fixed;right:inherit;left:0;bottom:0;"></div>Â
<div class="card rounded-0 border-0 col-lg-10 offset-lg-2 col-md-9 offset-md-3 p-0" style="overflow:hidden;position:fixed;bottom:0;top:0;left:0;z-index:-1; background-image: url(IMAGE URL HERE); background-attachment: fixed; background-size: cover; background-position: center;"> </div>
For Colour+Opacity:
style="color:rgba(0,0,0,0.1)"
(add in the RGB values (not HTML code) into the first three 0s for your colour. The 0.1 can be adjusted, i.e. 0.80, for the opacity)
