How to remove a Twibbon from your Twitter account

Posted:

Twibbons are small overlays that can be added to your Twitter avatar photo or image to display a cause or interest that you believe in, follow, or promote. A number of Twibbons have a "use-by" date, however, if they relate to a time-specific event. Or, you might simply want to rotate causes, or free up your avatar image again. This article explains how to remove the Twibbon.

Steps

  1. Return to the Twibbon homepage. This is located at http://www.twibbon.com.
  2. Sign in. You can sign in using your Twitter name if wished - the link is at the top right hand corner of the page.
  3. Go to the "My Profile" link. This is located at the top of the page. This will take you to the "My Profile" screen.
  4. Look for the button that says "My history" in the toolbar at the top of the page. Click on it. This is where you will find the "avatar history" retained since you joined Twibbon.
  5. Go through your different avatars. Select the one that you want restored and click on "revert". The avatar image you have selected will restore.
  6. Check your Twitter account to see your new avatar. Be patient if the avatar image does not revert on Twitter - it may be immediate, or it can take up to 24 hours for this change to come through.

Alternate method

  1. Change your original avatar by going to Twitter. This can be found at: http://www.Twitter.com.
  2. Go to "Settings".
  3. Click on "Profile". The first option will be "Picture". You have the options to "change image" or "delete image". Choose whichever you prefer.
  4. Place your new avatar on Twitter. The Twibbon will have been removed because you have removed the avatar image that carried it. Upload either your original avatar or a new one, as wished.
