When you join a Ning Network, you have the option to upload a profile photo during the sign up process. If you choose to add one later, go to your My Page by clicking on your name in the top network bar. Then click on the “Options” button at the top of your page.
From the drop-down menu that appears, you can click “Delete” to delete your profile photo. Doing this alone will set your profile photo back to the network-provided default profile photo. Click “Upload” under the Profile Photo section to upload a new photo from your computer. Once you select a new photo from your files and click “Choose,” the old photo will be deleted.
Please note that when uploading profile photos from your phone, you may find the profile photo appears on your network sideways. This is because smartphones often autocorrect an image’s position, regardless of the photo’s actual orientation. If your photo is sideways, you can always upload a new one or click on the “Options” button and select “Rotate” from the drop-down menu.
Ideal avatars?
People sometimes ask us: What’s the best size for a profile picture image? Ideal size proportions for a profile photo are 72×72 pixels, but just about any image will work as long as it is a GIF, JPG or PNG image that is under 10 MB in size. We recommend square images that are no larger than 183×183 pixels. Photos uploaded to this area that are not square will be cropped to fit in the space provided.
