Why are the profile edits I made not saving?

If you're having trouble updating your profile, it could be that:

  • The file is too large (the maximum file size is 10 MB).
  • The file is the wrong type (we are only able to accept JPEG/GIF/PNG files).
  • There's a problem with another field on the form (for example, you have a blank display name or your bio is too long).
