I Want to See Your Profile Pics! 📸

in General

This is just a little tip for all of the newer people here like myself, because I keep seeing so many blank profile pictures on the forum and I don't think everyone realizes there's apparently a weird little glitch causing it. 😂

If you have a profile picture on your CC profile but it isn't showing next to your name on the forum, try making your profile picture private and then public again.

For whatever reason, that seems to refresh it and make your picture appear on your forum posts. ✨

I figured I'd share because I don't think it's obvious that anything is wrong — if your picture is showing normally on your profile, you probably just assume it'll eventually show up here too. 😂

And selfishly, I want to make it easier to remember you! I am absolutely terrible at remembering usernames, but I remember faces or profile pictures almost immediately. So it makes it so much easier for me to keep track of who I'm talking to when everyone actually has a picture next to their name.

I may not remember people names, but I will always remember your dogs. 😂🐶

So if you're new and wondering why you're still a mysterious little blank silhouette on the forum:
Profile picture → Private → Public again → voilà! 😇

Hopefully this saves somebody else from waiting around wondering when their face is eventually going to appear. 😂💜

    From what I've read of the guidelines, a profile pic has to be 400 x 400 to show on your pfp portrait so I've always went by that, which leads me to have two of the same image, one being lo-res as my profile and the one regular hi-res one as part of my pic reel.

    I know this subject has been brought up in the past; does this workaround help shed light on the cause? Thanks!

    I don't have a profile picture, only an enthusiastfile picture.

    does this workaround help shed light on the cause?

    @SunsetSnuggles Yes, it can give a little insight to a developer as to what the problem could possibly be, and even more so for the actual developer who built the site as they'd have more context. Now, why it doesn't get fixed, that I couldn't begin to speculate on. It's something that would take AI mere moments to fix.

    Ok yeah it works now, thanks for the tip :)

  • AngelNextDoorAngelNextDoor

    @Odie7 YAY!! 😂🥰 Look at you appearing out of the mysterious blank silhouette! I'm glad it worked!

    @CuddlesWithCat Yours is showing beautifully on my end! 😂 So even if it's not fitting exactly how you want it, at least we can see you now. 🥰

    @IronicMaiden 😂😭 That's a dad joke if I've ever heard one.

    I'm just glad this actually helped somebody because every time another little face appears in this thread I feel weirdly accomplished. 😂💜

    Sometimes it's also just the formatting. I have found screenshotting your pic and cropping a little and uploading it will also help.

    Also remember you can have more than 1 pic. You have to scroll through to see them. Some do not know that
