This product will add a new page to the User CP for easy editing of specially marked profile fields, that for one reason or another you would like to split off from the main list. NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile. A mod I'll release later on will create a tab for them, fully editable like the "About Me" tab.
After the product is FULLY installed, when a you want to move a profile field to the new page for easy editing:
1. Go to the AdminCP and edit the field as normal.
2. At the bottom in the Display Page area, you will see "Which page displays this option?" The last option should say Options: $vbphrase[extra_options].
3. Save!
Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). With an ADDITIONAL product (e.g. NOT this one), I place these specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile as an extra tab.

Well that'd be me since it's my mod However, this mod is purely for the input page, so you'd use a different mod to display the image. In this mod, all you'd do is create a profile field that would take in the URL.
Just like every other profile field: from the AdminCP.
I'm trying not to sound too thick here, and really appreciate your help and understand it's not part of your mod, BUT I know how to add a custom profile field, but getting it to allow the insertion of an image has stumped me.
I am sorry for bothering you. I'll have a good poke about for maybe a different mod that does what I need.
Many thanks - Still a good mod you have done by the way. Maybe not for me though.
Depending on where you call and want to display the img, you'd place the appropriate BBCODE or HTML references around it.
Already tried that. Will not display image. Would be much easier to use a mod that has a full editor with insert image option OR an upload option, or something along those lines.
What I want is an option for my members along the lines of vb garage, but vb garage will not work on my site.
(and I've posted on that mods thread with no reply as yet from the developer).
