[support] including profile edit form on a page...

[Kevin Davison]

global $user; in a template file wasn't my idea, but the previous developer's. Took over this project.

I would like to use panels, but I can't figure out how to create a panel page with the profile edit form in there. Anyone know how?

Can anyone also explain why the user-profile-form would "save" when clean URLs are turned off (/?q=as/22), and then it doesn't save when clean URLs are turned on (/as/22)?

   <form action="/as/22"  accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="user-profile-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Thank you,

Kevin
