How to view a larger version of profile pics of users

Lets be honest... sometimes we wish that we were able to see a larger version of a particular user's profile pic, but the way SW was designed, this is not possible by simply clicking on avi's, nor does SW have a Zoom feature.

But the good news is that we can in fact do this! All we need is to find the direct link of the image in the source code of the profile page you are visiting.

For the purposes of this "tutorial" I will be using the account of Miss @caccoon as an example (her permission has been obtained). Also I will be using the Chrome browser, but it is fairly easy finding the source code in other browsers as well (just fiddle around until you see the option).

So first step is to go to the profile. Then right click and select "View page source" like so:

You will then see the following and you need to select the highlighted are then "Copy" the selection... then go to the address bar of your browser and "Paste" the link into there and "Enter"....


This will then be the end result:


That is all there is to it!
