Add or Update a Limited Profile

Add or Update a Limited Profile

A limited profile consists solely of your username and, optionally, a profile image.

Note: If you are under 13 years of age, your limited profile will only include your username, and you will not be able to add a profile picture.

To add or update a limited profile, follow these steps:

  1. From any page, click the drop-down menu icon next to your username and select Dashboard. Then, navigate to the Profile tab.
  2. In the header section of your profile page, under Profile Visibility, select Limited Profile.
  3. (Optional) Add a profile image by selecting the Upload an image option. Your image must be in .gif, .jpg, or .png format, and the file size should be between 100 bytes and 1 MB. If you choose not to upload an image, the placeholder image will appear as your profile image.
  4. To upload a new image, hover over the placeholder image and click Upload an image. In the file navigation window, select the image you wish to use and click Open.
  5. To change or remove your profile image, hover over the existing image and select either Change image or Remove. If you remove the image, the placeholder will appear as your profile image.

Your changes are saved automatically.
