No more pictures in profiles? March 22, 2007 5:27 PM Subscribe
Have we lost the ability to post pictures in our user profiles now?
Been that way for a while, I think—ever since Matt flipped the switch on custom css in profiles, any change has meant death.

If you updated your profile, you now can't put any pictures on it. It sucks, I used to have pictures there too, and since I changed something, the ban on the img tag has taken effect.

It's the last, delmoi. When you changed your preferences, you lost your pictures. Only if you keep your old-school profile do you get to hold on to 'em. Change is loss.

cortex: I added the pictures long after we lost CSS, but I guess before we lost the IMG tag. They were just inline images.
That really sucks, especially since matt fixed most of the HTTP GET vulnerabilities. Would it be possible to enable <img> on our profile pages?

I can't seem to cite it, but didn't Matt say the other day that he was planning on adding the ability to add an image (or more) to your profile. A tie-in with flickr or something. Or did I just dream that?

I'm not sure where it is either, but you're not dreaming it, Dave.

I said it the other day on the youtube inline video thread, but I'll be hooking into flickr soon so you can mirror your profile image over there and pull any images into your profile page you want.
I'm in the middle of a huge server move, but this is one of the first things I want to finish when we're on the new hardware.

Woo. Flickr integration is neato. Especially that spiffy cross-site auth system they use.

Well, My pictures had been on flickr, I'm happy with that, I guess :P

I think you broke my monitor with that profile, TPS. No, wait. You broke my retinas. (Blindly gropes for brightness down button.)

It's pink. Pretty? It's god-awful ugly. Matt should use your profile as an example of why custom css is a bad thing. It's the closest thing to myspace I've seen on metafilter, and we are all dumber for it's existence.

Oh yes, me too! Over here on the East Coast it's 2-5ish, which is just the time I need a little MeFi the most. I hope there will be a grand reveal of the server on MeTa so I can put on a party hat and throw cofetti and clap my hands.

Sometimes my texty-hatred for you dippy bastards is hard to contain: it's not the colour that matters, for fucksakes, it's the fact that the TPS has been able to maintain The Pink for so long since the profile holocaust that is worthy of full-on respeck-knuckles.
Sheesh. Golly!
Darn it.

I agree. We need to revel in this, because eventually she's going to need to change her gender or her coordinates and then it will be all gone.

Actually, I have to give the credit for my long-pinkedness to nobody (really, that's his name), who e-mailed me to warn me that if I changed my profile, I'd lose my color. I'm sure I wouldn't have known if he hadn't reminded me. So you can send all your I HATE PINK PROFILES complaints to him. (And tell him that I miss him and wish he'd come back to the USA and to meetups).
