Maria B Hi Maria, actually if you see that your profile is in white it is probably because you were using CSS exclusively to decorate your profile. Once CSS was deactivated, then your profile became affected by it. But you don't have to feel that hi5 is in direct competition with FaceBook as hi5 has lots of unique services and items very different from this website.
You can actually can personalize your profile with lots lots of designs you can choose form the "Skins Gallery" which you can find by clicking on your "Change my Skin" link. From here you will be able to assign any designs from the collection or you can upload your own images, chance colors, fonts, positions, etc. The option to continue using HTML is also available for you if you need to apply more advanced design items to your profile. If you need help, then you can always count on your "Help and Support Groups" - And we still SMIIIIIILIIING C ME :) Anyway, I think a welcoming image in the login page is a great idea. Hopefully the engineers can take it into consideration.
I'm sure you will discover that the new hi5 version is a lot "everything better" (if I can say it in a playful way)...

And the warm welcoming faces are gone from the login page. Everything is white, stark and cold. Why? Is this all to imitate facebook?
