Dunno if this is at all possible, but can the profile photo be given the option to use a URL the way the avatar photo can? I was thinking of updating my profile to include a photo and was just a bit surprised to see there was no option for it.
That's probably what I'll end up doing for the time being. I had planned to just host the pic on my site's ftp and swap it out there when I felt like a change.
Ok, so I tried a bunch of things in the order shown:
- Twitter connect
- Twitter connect with Twiback (switches profile pics on Twitter at specified intervals)
- Uploading a photo manually via URL entered in the file select
- Uploading a photo manually via file stored on my computer
Twitter connect only synced a tiny, tiny profile pic 48x48 pixels in size. The Twiback route had the same result, as expected, since it's uploading to Twitter. Putting a URL into the file select dialog yielded absolutely no change, and I didn't expect this would work anyway. Was worth a try tho.
So, ideas exhausted, I guess I'll either change it manually less frequently than I had hoped to via the forum settings, or move my idea to the avatar picture instead.
Naw, it's cool. The dude's super busy and this would probably benefit a handful of users (or possibly just me lol). I'd rather he spend any free time he has living life and getting some rest.
