Shortcut to users profile (someone else, not me)

Post by mbarron »

Is there any easy way to access another user's profile? I know I can go into the members list and get to the profile there. I liked being able to click on the user's name within a thread to view their profile.

Click on the username. If the user has a user picture, you can also click on that.

It looks like this must vary with the skin, as Hans suggestion does not work for me.

Indeed. I use the prosilver skin, and your suggestion doesn't work there - no 'profile' button. :smile:
Best wishes,

Mine was from the subsilver2 skin, where the image and username are not active links.

BUT if you use FF and use the CoolPreviews add-on you get to view his profile without leaving the page. I am using Prosilver and I can mouse on his nick or photograph (avatar) and get the magnifying glass which I just hover over and it brings up another page....pretty clever plus eliminates carpal tunnel vision hehe
