Profile Picture Uploading on Switch

[pwsincd]

SWITCH USERS ONLY

I spent the last day or so trying to solve the switch users problem of not having a simple way to edit their Avatars. My solution was to create our own image search that we can therefore copy and paste from using local.storage features.

So for now its sited at the bottom of everypage though this will change soon.

Switch Users
*1. Go to edit your profile and click your profile picture
*2. Choose "Upload new picture from URL"
*3. Click "Image Search" at the top (refresh page if not visible)
*4. Search for your image
*5. Click the image you want and hit "OK" in the bottom right
*6. then "Upload Picture"
*7. Crop and save .. You're done.

Note : the search feature is currently using pixabay's API and may not find all the images your after but its a start and will change. Any issues let us know.

Also added the paste button to the shoutbox just for fun you can now paste image URLs into the shoutbox... though they don't appear as yet.. unless you click them.

having clashing issues with this temporarily removed.

@VGMoose is there no option to use the images from google?
