How to add a "Profile" picture for a Facebook Group page, or is it not possible with the new timeline?
Hi I have question

Since the introduction to the new timeline theme, I can not figure out how to have a custom profile pic for that group. I have tried a number of things as found online to correct this to no avail. When I go to the group page, in the upper left side of the page is my own personal profile picture, but when you click on my picture, it just brings me back to my private FB page.

Does anyone know how to get out logo in as a profile pic for the group?


The suggestion indicated below is not applicable here as I am not trying to change a pic in a person profile, but the on on a Facebook Group I manage. \Keep in mind that as I said earlier, the pic in the upper left corner is the my profile picture that is being displayed not the picture icon for the group. I am wondering if this has to dot with the fact that I am the primary admin. Even if I try to mouse over the picture of me (again which should not be there)no options overlay. I just can not figure out how to do this.

To set the scene, I have a personal FB page, and when you log in the profile pic is of me. The gaming squad I am with has created a group page for all over us, and I am the primary admin for that group. So while on my personal page, in the "search" text box on the top of the page, I type in the name of the group and hit enter. While is does take me to the group page, my personal information and profile pic are still being displayed. I also just noted that there is only a banner on other group pages, and I don't see any of them with a profile pic for the group. It almost appears

Thanks

The info and pic you see to the left are yours..members of the group will see their info and pic there, not yours.
Its a default setting..
To change the photo the group see - hover your mouse at the top of your group page and to the right you will see a small icon click this to choose the cover photo..this is the groups profile photo,you dont have an actual profile photo.
Hope this helps..

The person above is correct. While on the group page you can hover the mouse over the top right of the page. An icon appears to allow you to add a cover photo that will be the image for the group page.

You all are talking about a cover photo. I am talking about the profile pic or whatever it may be called. To elaborate on what I am speaking of, let me explain it this way: When I go to share my group on my regular timeline page, I copy link into status and it pops up the website and description of my group page, but the pic shows a blank grey box. That is the pic I need to change. I know of nothing to call it except profile pic. I am not talking about cover photo as I figured that out day one.
