profile portraits are able to be used again, but how do you use external pics now?

I already tried the old methods but the didn't worked. I hope someone has a idea on how to get this work ^^

Considering some people are not smart, mature, or decent enough to choose appropriate pics  (thus ruining it for those of us evolved enough to make such decisions) there probably isn't a way.  At least I hope one isn't found as we will then loose the capability to even use it, again.
