for newbies like me - easiest way to set profile picture

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

I didnt have a profile pic for a week because in the account settings it asks for a profile pic URL.

Seemed like a lot of work, and probably the need to sign up for a site...? nope!

go here https://postimage.io/

  • choose a size
  • choose "remove after 1 day",
  • upload image
  • copy the "direct link"

Hope this help a newbie like me.

Ur welcome 😊

U Sir , deserve my upvote ! ^^

If you are lazy enough to upload a picture , then just pull out your facebook or twitter profile picture url and the image will fetch automatically.

  • this is my profile picture url from facebook , and it works perfectly fine

More usable over all platforms https://en.gravatar.com/ but you do have to copy the specific URL. Have fun
