How you represent yourself in the forums can be changed by three things: your avatar dragon, your equipped vista, and your forum signature.

The first is changed on the top right hand of the screen, by clicking the little drop down arrow next your name and then clicking Change Avatar. This will open a small window with headshots of all the dragons in your lair. Pick your favourite and click save!

The other two options can be changed in settings. Your signature can be edited as you so choose using BBCode and the like, but the vista is something that you can pick from after acquiring them and binding them to your account. Signatures can be a maximum of 525px in width and 100px in height.

When you acquire a vista, it automatically goes into the specialty tab in your hoard. From there, you can click it and then click "Apply Vista to Account" which will bind it to you. Now, when you go to "forum vista" in settings and click change, you will see it there as an option to choose!

Lastly, you'll notice stars on users posts ranging from 1 star to 4 and then a single shiny star. This is a little way to show how many forum posts a user has made, with 1 star being 1 post, 2 stars being 50 posts, then 100, 200, and 500 for the other stars. The shiny star is earned with 1,000 posts and is the last available star to earn.


I won't pretend to be a great coder. I do like to design my own things 99% of the time, but frankly it takes me hours and it hurts my brain. I will spare some rambling explanation on how coding works and instead throw guides at your face.

For the most part, you can get away with the buttons on the top of your forum posts, the ones that will bold or italicize or indent etc as you please. There are further ways to code that aren't listed which can spice up your posts and the like.

As a quick note, something that I didn't think about/notice until who knows how long: not everyone will see the same thing. A user playing Flight Rising on Google Chrome is going to make their bio nice and fancy and then there's a good chance a user on Firefox or what have you will look at it and it will look a little gross. This is the life we choose to live when we mess around with coding.

BBCode Fonts - NOTE: Not all fonts are viewable for every user. This means that if you use a fancy font, it might just default to a generic one for other players.

If you would like to see a couple of examples of dragon bios, here are two of mine:


Here is a user who makes codes with interesting spins on designs, as an example of how particular you can get.
