Perhaps the first thing you want to do when you sign up on Steemit or any other social networking website is upload your profile picture and cover photo. On Steemit when you upload a link URL, from Imgur, for your profile picture or cover photo sometimes after updating you will be met by no changes what so ever. Even though the reason for this is unclear as of yet what worked for me is the following:
Click on your current profile (blank) picture and go to settings with the help of a drop-down menu:
Now go on www.postimages.org and upload your photo from your desktop onto the platform:
Copy the direct link URL and paste on Steemit:
This should get your profile picture/cover photo up and running right away! The solution worked for me and a lot of other Steemians, hope it works for you too!
