Editing your profile
Edit Portfolio changes your photo, banner, name, username, bio, country and links; Save keeps the changes and Cancel puts them back.
My Portfolio → Edit Portfolio
Open itEdit Portfolio on your own page turns the header card into a form. Change what you want and choose Save. Cancel puts everything back as it was when you started.
What's on it
- Photo
- Upload a JPG, PNG or WEBP under 5MB, or keep the coloured initials. Remove photo goes back to the initials.
- Change Banner
- Upload an image and crop it to the strip.
- Full Name
- The name on your certificates.
- Username
- 3 to 30 characters: letters, numbers, dots and underscores. It cannot contain "acada" or read as ACADA staff.
- Bio, Country
- A few lines about you, and a country for the flag.
- Social Links
- Website, LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub and YouTube. Each must be an https:// link to that site.
Rules and limits
- A photo, its colour and the banner are saved the moment you choose them, not when you choose Save. Remove photo does not ask first.
- To change your photo, remove it, then upload the new one.
- A bio and a photo earn the Own Your Story achievement, worth 1,000 XP.
- Your email address and date of birth are not on your portfolio. They are in Settings.
If something goes wrong
- "That username is taken."
- Someone else has it. Try another.
- "That username is reserved for ACADA…"
- Choose one that does not contain "acada" or look like staff.
- "Usernames are 3 to 30 characters…"
- Shorten it or lengthen it, using only letters, numbers, dots and underscores.
- "Enter your name."
- Full Name cannot be empty.
- "Links must use https://." or "That field only accepts…"
- Use the full https:// address of a page on that site.
- "Image must be under 5MB."
- Use a smaller file.
- "Failed to save changes."
- Nothing was saved. Check your connection and choose Save again.
