Profile Logo Settings

Here are some things to know regarding editing Profile Logo:

• The ratio of the Profile Logo will always be "Open" so members are not forced to upload a logo that is a certain shape - it can be square, wider than it is tall, or taller than it is wide.
  
  
• Since the ratio is always "Open", the "Width" and "Height" numbers serve as limits for the maximum width and height of the image.  For example, if both the Width and height are set to 200px, and a member uploads an image that is 2000px wide x 2000px tall, the final image will be resized to be 200px wide x 200px tall, maintaining the same aspect ratio of the original image, but downsizing it to be no more than the 200px x 200px limit.  This helps ensure that the website loads these images as quickly and efficiently as possible, thus reducing the overall time to load all of the website's pages as much as possible.

• Attempting to set the "Profile Logo" width to be less than 162px, an error message will appear:
  
  

  

  
  
  This is done to make sure that large images are resized to dimensions that will look relatively uniform in the various areas of the website where profile logos are used.

  
  

• Attempting to set the "Profile Logo Social Media" dimensions to be less than the required 200px x 200px, an error message will appear:
  
  

  
  

Profile Photo Settings

The Profile Photo Settings work very similarly to the Profile Logo Settings, with the one difference being that the Aspect Ratio for Profile Photos is always 3:4.  This is done to ensure these images fit as well possible in the various areas of the website where profile photos are displayed:

Please note: Changing the Aspect Ratio of this is possible, but not recommended.  Doing so would require customizing the design of the website significantly in order to accommodate a different aspect ratio for these images around the website and should only be requested by Advanced Users of the software that have significant experience in customizing the design of Brilliant Directories websites. 

Profile Cover Settings

Here are some things to know regarding editing Profile Logo:

• The ratio of the Profile Cover will always be "Open" so members are not forced to upload an image that is a certain shape - wider than it is tall, or taller than it is wide.
  
  
• Since the ratio is always "Open", the "Width" and "Height" numbers serve as limits for the maximum width and height of the image.  For example, if the Width and height are set to 1200px x 500px, and a member uploads an image that is 2000px wide x 800px tall, the final image will be resized to be 1200px wide x 500px tall, maintaining the same aspect ratio of the original image, but downsizing it to be no more than the limit.  This helps ensure that the website loads these images as quickly and efficiently as possible, thus reducing the overall time to load all of the website's pages as much as possible.
