This component allows your members to reuse older photos which are still listed in their Profile Photos and Profile Covers folders.
Recently I got a lot of nasty comments regarding my current profile photo - a chicken head.

They whined they liked my former photo much much more - and in fact it's still in place…

…but I found no way to reuse it except of uploading it again. Too bad. Even more, since the old photo achieved a lot of likes already. But there's a way out now: This component adds a simple [Reuse] button below every former uploaded photo. Just click it and that photo will become your current profile photo again.

The same goes for Cover images.
Please note that most likely you'll need to reposition a reused cover again because Ossn can only save the last positioning done. And since this component does no check on image dimensions - be prepared that some of your older cover photos might not fit anymore if the width/height does not meet the new specs of Ossn 8.1.

So where or how do I perform the upgrade? Because, I don't see that option in the administrator panel?

@Helen did someone stopped you from upgrading your social network? as the component may require changes from new version to work. So you have option to upgrade your social network. Every new version of OSSN may have additional functionality results into new components.

It's a shame it cannot be used for version 7. whatever I've got. Looks really useful. This is what worries me. As new components are being created and updated and newer versions are being built, what happens to the people who purchased the older Premium models and versions. Don't we deserve some upgrades too??
You guys need to have a system where a component or OSSN version has been modified or upgraded, everybody using the previous OSSN components and versions free or paid platform benefits too. Or at least given the option to upgrade. Especially, those with Premium packages. Just saying...
Or is my site automatically being updated and I just don't know about it? Just wondering how this all works? @Arsalan and Michael

Personally, I like the chicken head. But thanks for the component... much needed.
