I think this should be a built in functionality, available as an option in settings. Having a smooth transition into the forum makes a big difference when someone has just signed up, and having their profile picture grabbed from Facebook seems much better than using the current default letter box image.

I thought it’s a tutorial, is it in the request feature list yet?
