Upload a profile banner?

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

It's the picture that shows behind your profile picture when someone clicks on your profile. I'd tell you to click on my profile to see one, but I haven't loaded a profile banner yet.

You can look at my profile to see one.

Thanks, Teresa and PloverWing!

Where do I find banners to upload?

My banner is one of my own photographs, as is my profile picture. Both are pictures of an area of Virginia Beach that's at the south end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. This beach is a couple of miles from the house where I grew up, and it has a lot of sentimental value for me.

Thanks, Teresa and PloverWing!

Yes, thank you both! I have wondered about this also.

So, to add a profile banner ... do we just upload a photo (image) on our computer to this website?

Nice! I lived in suburban D. C. area for approx. 20 years. I was born in the midwest and I'm here for good. I guess I'd post a cornfield if I could or a pic of a Bible.

A cornfield might make a good banner picture. The display area for the banner is very wide and not very tall, so I looked for a picture that worked with that ratio. I could see tops of corn stalks against a blue sky being a good picture that fits those dimensions.

Assuming your user interface is something like mine: Go to your profile, and look for a button that says "More options". If you click it, you get a drop-down menu, and one of the menu entries is "Edit profile banner". That takes you to a page where you can upload a picture.

Thank you ... sounds simple enough!
