Update & Cancel buttons at the top

Is it possible, or could it be possible to additionally have the Update & Cancel buttons at the top op the edit profile. This is quite common nowadays as people tend to not see them at the bottom or might assume that the form autosaves, resulting in lost updates and them having to do it again. Perhaps it can be an option build in: show at top, bottom or both?

There's no option for that at this time. It will be easier once we redo our template system and move all the core views to layout files where you could just edit the layout and move the buttons wherever you like. If tab based profile edit is too much for your users I suggest changing to the flat layout within CB > Configuration > User Profile.
