Editing Your Profile | mcbCode Docs

# Editing Your Profile

A user profile represents your identity on mcbCode. Customizing your profile allows you to personalize your account and share information—such as a display name, bio, and profile picture—with other users on the platform.

All profile information is configured directly from your account settings page.

## Opening Profile Settings

To access your profile customization options, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your mcbCode account.
2. Open the **Profile** page. [mcbcode.com/profile](https://mcbcode.com/profile)
3. Locate the username or profile picture area at the top of the screen to begin editing your details.

## Changing Your Display Name

Your display name is the primary name shown on your profile and across public areas of mcbCode.

1. Click the **pencil icon** next to your current display name.
2. Enter your desired display name in the text field.
3. Click **Save** to confirm the update.

> **Note:** Display name changes may take a brief moment to update across all active sections of the platform.

## Updating Your Bio

Your bio is a short text section where you can introduce yourself, describe your background, or share information about your projects.

1. Click the **pencil icon** next to the bio section.
2. Enter your bio text.
3. Click **Save** to update your profile.

## Changing Your Profile Picture

Your profile picture provides a visual identity for your mcbCode account.

1. Click the **pencil icon** or edit overlay on your current profile picture area.
2. Select an image file from your device.
3. Confirm the upload.

* **File Size Limit:** Image files must not exceed **3 MB**.
* **Caching:** After uploading, the new profile picture may take a short time to appear across the platform due to browser and server caching.

## Notes

* **Public Visibility:** Profile details (display name, bio, profile picture, email*) may be visible to other mcbCode users.
* \* Your email will only be visible if you choose to turn that setting on. Default: off. For more information on other settings, click [here](https://mcbcode.com/docs/changing-settings).
* **Account Scope:** Profile updates apply exclusively to your signed-in account.
* **Display Syncing:** If a recent change does not immediately display, try refreshing your browser page.

## Troubleshooting

### Changes Are Not Saved

* Verify that you clicked the **Save** button after editing your display name or bio.
* Check your network connection to ensure changes successfully synced with mcbCode servers.

### Profile Picture Does Not Update

* Clear your browser cache or perform a hard refresh (`Ctrl + F5` or `Cmd + Shift + R`) to force the page to load the newly uploaded image.
* Allow a few minutes for image distribution across servers.

### Display Name or Bio Does Not Appear to Change

* Ensure you saved the edits before navigating away from the page.
* Refresh your browser page to reload your updated profile information.

### An Uploaded Image Is Rejected

* Check the file size of your image to confirm it is under the **3 MB** limit.
* Retry the upload using a standard image file type.

> **Note:** Specific character limits for display names and bios, as well as exact supported image file formats (e.g., PNG, JPEG, GIF), cannot be confirmed based on current documentation specifications.
