How to: Change profile picture ?

[idocdlw]

It's been approx 6 years since I last used cruisecritic. I would like to update my profile picture but have yet to figure out how to do so. I've searched the forum for this info, but have not found. If someone can help me out with that, I would appreciate it very much.

I just looked, upper right corner ... clicked on either my name or my photo and got a drop-down list.  Under 'Profile' I was offered the opportunity to change my photo.

The quickest way is to select the current profile picture in your post. That will open your profile page.  On the bottom left of your current profile picture is a photo icon. Select that and follow the instructions on uploading a new photo.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the assist.

I followed the instructions as given above. I get an error message saying my photo is too big. (see attached screenshot.)

The photo I want to use was the same size as the photo I removed. I made the replacement smaller, but I still get the error message. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to reduce your file size below 1MB. There are various ways to do that depending on file format and what devices you use.

Thanks, Charles! I used the option to save for WebP in photoshop. It worked! I appreciate your help.
