G'day Todd (or whoever else),

When using the web interface to read the newsgroups, I am often interested
in looking at the member page for a poster, to know more about them (or
more often than not, to remind myself who they are, since I've only
recently come back to LUGNET after a 2-year absence).  But there is no
direct link that I can see from a member's post to their member page
(at lugnet/members/NNN).  In the past I just worked around this (tediously),
but it wasn't until I'd spent a lot of time on another website that I
realized it needn't be this way.  This other site has a "Who is" link
displayed immediately after the poster's name/email address on every
single post.  Clicking on that opens a window with their identity page.

Could this be added to LUGNET?  It seems like it would be a small change,
but would be incredibly helpful to many people.

Thanx and regards,
KDJ

(...) Has there been any activity on this suggestion? BTW, thanx for adding the "Sign in" link to the home page. I don't know when it appeared, but it's very useful. Thanx, whoever you are! KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203 (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
