Thanks for the pointer.

Would there be any advantage (and would it work) to use [ AS : HANDLER : PROFILEPIC ] instead of [ DNN : PROFILE : ProfilePicture ] ?

The handler is faster and supports any image size you specify instead of using the values in the control panel.

Thanks for the insight, Wil. I modified my template to use the handler, now.

Do you know why the AS : PROFILE tokens aren't working in a skin object?

Yes. If we allowed you to use the AS:PROFILE tokens in the skin object then when you visited a user profile page other than your own the skin object would be parsed with the data from current profile. There are also a few other possibilities, but basically, it's setup this way to keep information as secure as possible.

Thanks Ray - that works for me.

Just a note - if you use the imagehandler from the Online view you need to change the [ AS:PROFILE:USERID ] token to: [DNN:PROFILE:USERID]

Yes, I had to change the AS to DNN for the userid, too, but forgot to note that in my post. Thanks for catching that.

I see, Will. I hadn't considered that. It totally makes sense, now. Thanks!
