Skype messaging and external avatar url
Are there any chances that in Profile/Messaging would be added Skype field and also allow to use external avatar url besides uploading them on server?

Re: Skype messaging and external avatar url
The messaging fields probably should be sorted out. I think for 2.0 we might aim to make them custom, rather than hard coding a few specific fields.
Regarding avatars, I'm sure there is a mod for this but I'm not keen on adding it to the core because you cannot check enforce size/dimension limits of remote images.

Re: Skype messaging and external avatar url
Yeah removing them totally would be another good option, I don't think anyone actually uses them anyway...

Re: Skype messaging and external avatar url
An alternative option is to get rid of the messaging fields but add a short generic "Other information" field rather like a signature where people can give some more information about themselves including their contact details if they wish.
The only thing worse than finding a bug is knowing I created it in the first place.

Not bad idea, Paul. At least more useful than it is made now.
