Change your Avatar in Community and Web player

I can't seem to change my avatar.  I changed it once with a picture I uploaded and it was gone the next day.  I have since changed it to one of the provided images but nothing will stick. What am I missing?  Also in the webplayer I have no avatar or option to change my avatar.  Any ideas?

@Andreuz-Music I definitely understand your frustration.

I reached out to our Community Manager, and it turns out there was a bug which was allowing you to view the option to change your avatar.

That has now been fixed and should no longer show for you.

Thank you for letting us know about this!

AdamPandora If you noticed my picture was changed on my profile. Just the other day I had set-up a Facebook account just so I could change my photo. Now that I have a Facebook acct, I think I might use it to put my Pandora playlist on for others to hear. Take care and be safe.

Is there a reason why you're forcing us to give you a connection to our social media in order to have an avatar? 

I pay for my account and it's not okay with me for you to have that access. It's just an avatar. There's no reason why a paid PREMIUM user shouldn't be able to upload an image for a profile picture. 

 

Why?

@Paigesmith1997 It's true that you currently need a Facebook account in order to add a profile picture to your Pandora account/community profile.

If you'd like have the ability to add a photo to your account without using Facebook, I recommend giving this existing feature request a ❤️to express your interest as well: Profile Picture - No Facebook

Hope we continue to see you around the community! 😁

In Chrome, when I click on my avatar on the /t5/user/viewprofilepage page for my account, I get a modal with an endless loading image and the following console error:

529085:1906 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined
at HTMLSpanElement.<anonymous> (529085:1906)
at HTMLBodyElement.dispatch (lia-scripts-common-min.js:183)
at HTMLBodyElement.eventHandle (lia-scripts-common-min.js:151)

Sidenote: It doesn't make a ton of sense to me that my avatar is the letter G while my username doesn't have a G in it. It seems like that image is being generated with a random letter or based on another arbitrary string. Regardless, it comes across like a bug.

@PhantomWatson Thank you for bringing this to our attention - I have passed your feedback along to our team so they are aware.

In the meantime, the letter on your avatar that shows in your community profile is associated with your actual Pandora username.

If you'd like to change your Pandora username so that your avatar changes to a different letter, let me know and I can put you in touch with our support team so they can further assist with that. 

If you'd like to add an actual photo to your community profile rather than have the letter "G" showing, you will first need to connect your Facebook account to your Pandora profile.

You can add a photo to your Pandora profile if you have a photo on your Facebook profile and your Facebook account is connected to your Pandora account.

To connect your Facebook account on Pandora, log in to our website and click the icon (initial or picture) in the top right corner of the page.

1. Select Settings, and then Account in the left hand menu.
2. Scroll down to Social.
3. Select Connect to the right of the Facebook option. 

To change the photo that is displayed on your Pandora profile, you'll need to change your default photo on your Facebook account.

It's also worth noting that sometimes Facebook takes some time to recognize the connection with Pandora, so if it doesn't work right away please try again a little later.

Hope this helps explain!

How do I get my profile picture to show up here instead of a person behind a gray screen? My profile picture shows up on my Pandora, and my Facebook is connected to my Pandora. But how do you get the profile picture to show up here in community?
