Adding a Profile Picture on Mobile

Been seeing quite a few forum users without a profile picture and decided it was time for a write-up on how to customize your Forum Account on mobile.

For those of you who enjoy your default picture, more power to you, but for those of us who would want to assign a picture, this is how…

Depending on your browser, this may take different steps, but for Apple, if you are using Safari it has an option under app settings that allows you to “Request Desktop Websites” which will then force your forum into Desktop mode next time you load the site.

You will need this.

While in Desktop mode, you can then see at the top of the page, there will be a cog next to your logged in account, this will allow you to “Edit Profile”.

Now that you’re editing your profile, you should be able to see on the left side of your page, an option to Change My Picture, once inside you will be able to see all of the options, and trust me when I say, there is some great artwork in there to choose from. Once you’ve finished making a choice, at the very bottom there will be a box you need to click, that says, “Save Avatar”. From here you will have your picture, and have a choice, to either stay in Desktop mode or go back to Mobile, where your picture will carry over, and this is as easy as changing the setting back and then reloading the page.

Once all of this is done, if you followed these steps, you should have a new picture that helps all of us identify you a bit better when engaging in conversations. Cheers

    For anyone looking to add a Signature under their account, the method in the OP works for that too.

    Speaking of which, it's very weird that we haven't gotten any new avatars this year...

    In fact, I don't think we got any last year either, they used to always add more on every chapter release, and the last few avatars we got were with Necrom, 2023.

    @MorvanClaude on PC/NA, don't try to trap me with lore subjects, it will work

    Huh, didn't realize that. Yeah. At the very least adding some for the 10 year anniversary you would think would have been a slam dunk.

    Actually changed it back because I didn't like how startled it looked lol. I wish we had more friendly or casual looking avatars.

    I wish we could upload our own personal avatars, like we can on Discord.

    We were able to during beta! :p I feel like with the number of avatars available nowadays, there's something already there for basically everyone, and they don't require moderation resources.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    -Playing since July 2013, back when we had a killspam channel in Cyrodiil and the lands of Tamriel were roamed by dinosaurs.
