Your profile is what other movers see when you post, get listed, or reply in the forum. A clear photo and cover help people recognize your company — and the forum software handles most of the sizing for you.
Where to edit
- Cover image (banner): Open your profile while logged in. Click the images icon on the right side of the header band, then choose Upload New Cover or Reset to Default.
- Avatar (profile photo): Profile → Account tab → upload under Avatar, then Save Changes.
- Display name & bio fields: Same Account tab — fill in what you want public, then save.
Optimal image sizes
These match what wpForo (our forum plugin) actually stores and displays on this site:
| Image | Best size to upload | What the forum does |
|---|---|---|
| Cover / banner | 1120 × 460 px (wide landscape, about 2.4 : 1 ratio). JPG or PNG under ~500 KB if you can. | Resizes on upload to 1120×460, then displays as a full-width strip about 200 px tall with center crop (background-size: cover). Keep trucks, logos, and text in the middle third — edges may clip on phones. |
| Avatar | 300 × 300 px or larger square. JPG or PNG, under 2 MB. | Crops to a square and saves at 150 × 150 px. Shown at 150 px on desktop and 100 px on small screens next to your posts. |
Quick cover tips
- Truck & crew shots work well — wide angle, good daylight, company name readable.
- Avoid tiny text, portrait (tall) photos, and busy patterns at the edges.
- Brand colors: A dark or neutral banner usually reads better with our dark forum theme than neon-on-neon.
- Privacy: Skip customer faces, house numbers, and license plates unless you have permission.
Avatar tips
- Logo on plain background, owner headshot, or truck door with logo — all fine.
- Square source beats a rectangle; the forum will center-crop.
- If upload fails, shrink the file under 2 MB or export as JPG.
Posts vs. profile
Profile images are separate from post formatting. For readable replies and job posts, see How to style your posts in the Movers Forum.
Your turn: Reply with your cover dimensions, a tip that worked for your logo on a dark banner, or a before/after — helpful for other movers setting up profiles.
These sizes reflect the current forum settings: cover images resize to 1120×460, and avatars have a 2 MB limit and are stored at 150×150.
