Removing a Twibbon is Easy!

One question frequently asked by Twitter users (especially those new to Twibbon) relates to removing their Twibbons once a campaign is over. It is actually a very simple process.

This step-by-step guide to removing your Twibbon should tell you everything you need to know. There are two methods to do this:

1. Using Twibbon.com to change your Twitter profile image

  • Navigate to the Twibbon homepage (twibbon.com)
  • If you are signed in, click the ‘My Profile’ link at the top of the page.

  • Once on the “My Profile” page, you will see the toolbar highlighted in red below:

  • Select the “My History” tab on the right. From here you will see a grid of all the profile pictures that you have had since joining Twibbon. Select the image you want as your Twitter avatar from the history panel, and click on the word ‘Revert’ – not the image itself. That’s it!

N.B. If you are not signed in click on the “Sign in with Twitter” at the top right of the page first:

P.S. It can take Twitter a while to update your profile picture after you’ve Twibbonised it! Please wait 24 hours after removing a Twibbon for Twitter to update. If it has not sorted itself out by then, please contact the lovely Twibbon Team by emailing support@twibbon.com or tweeting @twibbonsupport.

2. Re-upload your profile picture to Twitter

You can also remove your Twibbon by re-uploading your original picture (or a brand new one) onto Twitter and then visit twibbon.com to support a different cause.

  • This method requires you to go to your Twitter profile page and click on ‘Edit Your Profile’ underneath your picture. This automatically takes you to your settings page and onto your profile tab.

  • Now you can click ‘Choose File’ and find a suitable image for your profile picture. (Twitter now likes you to upload a completely square image)

  • Once you’ve found the picture for you, just click “Save” and Twitter will congratulate you on getting a new picture…and you’ve done it!

 

If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve this functionality, please use the ‘Feedback’ button on the left of the screen on the Twibbon website.
