Hi! This is my first CounterSocial post. I’m sad about leaving Twitter, but glad there’s an alternative. Also, is anyone else struggling to upload pictures in their profile?
@LindaGoodliffe it took me a second and I think there’s a lot of new traffic right now here
hello & welcome.
need some help? take your time. you'll get used to the way things work as you play w/ it.
there's the user guide - check out the 3rd pinned post on my profile.
& ofc, #cosonauts are a helpful bunch, too.
what's the issue you're having w/ your avatar upload? can you explain it?
@LindaGoodliffe Welcome!
Profile pictures are limited to under 2MB. There's also a "Save Changes" button at the bottom that, well, saves changes.
Ask if you have any questions. We're a helpful lot here.
@LindaGoodliffe There is a limit on file size. I had to find one that would fit.
@LindaGoodliffe hi! I haven't had any problems uploading at all. Just go to your downloads select what you want and it should upload.. Make sure it's a pic and not a webpage and you should be good.
Welcome to CoSo, Linda!♥️
What size is your photo?
Try screen capping it, and then upload the screen cap.

here's a user guide to get you started:

@LindaGoodliffe I had trouble with that, then I went to a photo editing site so I could reduce the file size to the required maximum.
@LindaGoodliffe It's slightly tricky. Go to settings (on the rightmost column on the web or the burger on the right on mobile). Select profile. Scroll to find the "Header" and "Avatar" section.
@LindaGoodliffe follow the suggestions given re profile photo. If its loading “sideways” thats the sanitizer, and iOS. Simple fix, crop it slightly and re-upload it.
The user mabual is pinned on my profile. It will help with understanding what sanitizing does.
@LindaGoodliffe welcome. The app manual is pinned to my profile. Give it a read, ask questions, jump in convos. Do an introduction use hashtag #introductions or #MeetTheNauts and soon you will be on your way to making new friends have fun.
