Thought I would post a quick message about a quick tip that I learned about how to successfully upload a Twitter background. Recently Twitter has been acting “twacky” and many have tried to upload background images without success. Well, have no fear, there is a trick!
First upload your image. If you need a tutorial on this, you can find it here. Once Twitter says it has “saved” the image check your profile. If the image didn’t actually save and is viewable, then you must rename the same image file and re-upload. By renaming the image file, you confuse Twitter! It may take a few times of renaming and re-uploading for it to work, but it has never failed me yet. I have had to use this technique a few times to successfully upload client’s images who had custom themes designed by CustomTwit.com. Hope this works for you too!
Some others are also having luck by deleting the previous images they may have already stored previously as their background. Do this by clicking ” Do not use a background” in the Twitter admin under settings, design, change background image.
Didn’t work
Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data. You work is realy good!
the question is, why can’t twitter hire programmers competent enough to write a simple image uploader properly? no excuse for how buggy the current one is. should just work, not require these ridiculous work-arounds that frequently don’t.
