This is what users see in their profiles...

Also, your module doesn't have an option to control permitted extensions. When I uploaded an animated gif, it ruined the whole thing, it had extracted the image into 30 or more frames but it should simply deny such an image... Over all result was an x for the image which means didn't display anything....

That pesky upload problem is not an issue anymore.
Thanks for your time on this. It's a great seemless addition to pnProfile on my site.
Any chance there's any kind of pnForum integration (plugin or hack), I'm trying to handle image gallery and forum image attachments in one module rather than messing around with different solutions. Ideally I want users to be able to attach an existing image or upload a new one and attach while posting in the forums.
(or any chance you could be persuaded to add this if it's not already possible? I have cookies.
)
for third party integration a MultiHook needle can be cool, Have to think how to build a popup like the Scribite->MediaAttach integration to insert the adequate code into the new post, etc...
