    Problems with custom profile background

    Hey, it's Nextant.

    I recently have been trying to get my profile custom background to work, never does.
    Since I am a graphic designer, I design my own.

    I rendered this really cool background in 1080p HD 400x200 and upload it, it's all stretched out and looks terrible.

    So 400x200 doesn't work. What does?

    I was able to upload an image with the dimensions of 1920 × 1080 pixels. It's probably best to upload the background and then to apply the text via the "Customize your profile" settings. Otherwise, your image will appear pixilated if you didn't render it correctly.

    You could follow procoder's advice, and see if an image with the dimensions 1263 × 278 works if you're not wanting to apply the text afterwards. From a SEO standpoint you may want to include this text because your profile could essentially rank higher in the search engines since the site uses h1 attribute.

    Oh I can't remember what I did with my image size but I did have problems making it not stretched out. There was a recommended image size and when I used that size my image looked awful so I thought it was something stupid that I did...

    I fiddled around and just changed it until it looked right. It took me about 10 tries to get it looking ok. It is still not how I wanted it to look but not too bad.

    I don't remember the resolution I used but it came out fine the first time and that's great because I am not any good at this kind of stuff. I loved the fact that you can write something that gets superimposed on the image. It made it look better.
