How to upload a profile picture (subscribers only)

[Michelle Osborne]

The system is set to automatically have your profile picture "icon" be the first letter of your user name. But I imagine you're like most of us and would like to upload your own photo as your icon.

 

To do this, click on your name at the top of the screen and select "Profile."

 

 

You should see a little icon at the lower lefthand corner of your current profile picture. Click on that.

 

 

Note: If you do not see this little icon, that means you have reached your upload limit for the site (upload limit is 50MB). If you've uploaded a cover photo, this may be where you've hit your limit.

 

Clicking on that little icon will bring you to where you can upload your photo. It does not have to already be a square photo. The system will allow you to crop it in the next stop.

 

Note: There is a file size limit, so if your file is too big, resize the original photo and save it as a smaller file.

 

Upload your photo and click "Continue."

 

On the next page, you can adjust the crop of your photo to pick the section you want.

 

 

Once you drag the handles around to get it to look like you want it, hit save, and your profile picture will be updated.
