Pick one of our ready-made covers or upload your own. Both appear straight away; an uploaded one is checked automatically against the content rules.
Open your profile editor and choose a cover. You have two options.
Ready-made covers
We keep a set of covers you can use as they are. They are already approved, so one appears on your profile immediately.
Your own image
Upload one and it appears straight away. It is checked automatically against the content rules, and pulled back with a reason if it fails.
A cover is the first thing a visitor sees, so it is held to the same content rules as the rest of your page — see what content is allowed.
If it is refused
You will be told which part was the problem and you can upload a different one. A refused cover never leaves your page blank — the previous one stays until a new one clears.
