User Guide
[MC] PC Builds lets members display and share their PC specifications. Each member has a single build with a structured component list, optional photos, and an optional PC Part Picker URL. Builds appear on the member's profile, can be linked from the postbit, and can be embedded in posts via BB code.
This guide covers installation, the per-user editor, the global options (including affiliate-link configuration), the three permissions, and an alphabetical reference.

Always back up the database before upgrading. Schema upgrades that touch the build or photo tables ship with migration notes.
