Yo so I'm someone who loves coding, making my own bio templates, customizing thing but there's something that I don't like.
Our clan profiles. They're not customizable enough and can't let us differenciate from each other or stand out. I mean what differentiate mine from this nerd?

It's the icon, and this ridiculous little clan info box.

So what do I want? A bigger clan info box so we can be able to do some cool looking coding and make all of our info/lore/links visible without having to scroll through a match box and a customizable background, something like this:

I used coliseum venues as an example, but it could be anything as a background. These backgrounds could be obtained like vistas, via coliseum drops, the marketplace, or events. They could also be able flight specific, for example having fire themed backgrounds only available to Fire members. They can be selected the same way as vistas and be changed in the account settings. They will appear once selected on every pages of the clan profile of a player: The clan page, the lair page, the nesting ground page, the clan activity page. the friends page.
For the size of the clan info box, it could be increased by removing or moving the "recent clan activity" section. After discussing the idea with some users, they told me they don't have any interest or use for the "recent clan activity" section. That's why I think that it could be moved to the side, under the "friends" section like this (where the red circle is):

The vistas were already a big step in term of customization and being able to stand out, but I think we can go even further with the implementation of this idea.

it's be very cool to be able to buy or gain new backgrounds! perhaps the coli ones could be gatherable through the venue like vistas :D major support <3

Oooh! This would be amazing! Please think about adding this in. Having better size for profiles would be very handy!

That's such a great idea, I hope something like this happens eventually!

so much support! the recent activity tab has always seemed useless to me, like i know i just hatched a nest, i don't need a tab telling me i did. other users also know if they just look at my lair. i'd actually be all for removing all recent activity except for achievements, but i doubt that'll ever happen.
i would also love a bigger bio box!! although i'd like to add a suggestion, maybe? include the editing tools and preview option that forums have for clan bios. it's super annoying to either hand-type all the coding or create a forum post* to use the editing tools. i also can't tell you how many mistakes i've made for not being able to preview things.
*by creating a forum post i mean just using the editing tools and not saving the new thread/post. i don't artificially inflate anything. does anyone else use this method?

I suggested this in the past, so much support! I want space, not a teeny box for people to scroll and squint!

Yes please! Many users have different sections like "About me" "Clan Information" "Wishlist". It would be nice to see that they are there without having to scroll so much. And seconding that my interested for the recent activity tab is very, very minimal. Support!!

Yessss!
I also don't really even look at recent clan activity tbh, so more space in clan profile in trade of a useless section? yes please :D

It'd be cool if the backgrounds could be dropped like Vistas from each of the Coli Venues.

Oooh, I'd love this so much and 100% support. Functioning the same as vistas would be the best way I think and making those bio boxes bigger would be so much help, as I would love to pretty mine up but don't want that scroll bar in the way.
If I could add on anything though, I think it would be neat to also have client-side backgrounds for the default/plain background you see on other pages like the forums, main page, trading post etc? I've seen this with other websites and it's really nice being able to make the site more personal for its users. Maybe even merge these two functions together, and let us use these profile backgrounds for this as well?
