Telling people to verify people by "tapping on their profile picture" is confusing.

Description
Previously

This caused the person trying to verify me to go and open my MemberInfo and then tap on my avatar, which produces a nice big picture of me, but no way to verify.
Meanwhile, the actual Verify button is pretty much hidden as a little text link rather than a proper button (which i've never understood - in the original designs it was a nice big green button?), which means it was missed.
**Update January 2025**: This is still a problem, though we now say "profile picture" rather than "avatar"
**Update October 2025": We should just remove the "Verify in their profile..." text.
