This one is tricky, because allowing people to upload files is difficult to do securely. (A hacker could, for instance, write a program, rename it to end in .png, and then upload it maliciously to our site.) We definitely want this feature though and are looking into how we can do it safely.
In the meantime, how would you feel about a compromise? We could allow users to upload their pictures to a trusted image hosting website (like Imgur or Photobucket), and give us the image URL.

This is a really good idea! We are actually about to introduce a "Dashboard" page for logged in users, and I think it would be great to incorporate this idea there.

Other great ideas. We will roll these two out some time this week. Thanks for your suggestions!
