The official MyAnimeList BBCode guide provides a lot of useful information, these tips below are some pieces of advice that aren't already specified on that page!
The width of the "About Me" page is 798 pixels on desktop view, maximum height before cutoff is 1000 pixels (also on desktop). If your design is longer than 1000 pixels in height, anyone who visits your profile will have to click a Read More button to see the rest. These dimensions can be very helpful for determining what dimensions you should use for elements such as images (See tip #2)
You can resize images by adding the argument(s) "width=100" and/or "height=100" (without the quotation marks, change the numbers to whatever you want!) inside the [img] tag. You do not need both width and height parameters. You can combine these arguments with the [img] align argument i.e.
[img align=right width=150][/img]
Tables will have very messed up whitespace if there are any line breaks in the table tags (table, tr, td). To fix this issue, do not add any line breaks among any of the table tags (basically, don't press the "Enter" key when writing the tags), the entire code for the table should be on 1 line (It is okay if the text wraps around to a new line in the editor, that does not mean that there is a line break). See this thread if my explanation is confusing lol
You cannot use center tags on tables, however, the length of the text within a cell will affect the width of its entire column. Spaces will not affect the length of the text, however, you can add characters to the front and back of the text to change the width and set these characters to be transparent by setting the color tag to transparent:
(It is preferable to set the color to transparent instead of trying to set it to the background color of the About Me section because MyAnimeList allows users to use either Light Mode or Dark Mode, which changes the background color of the About Me section)
