Have you discovered the Users list yet?
It was recently added to the sidebar menu, where you’ll find it by clicking “More”:
It displays a list of user cards, featuring the profile picture and the profile info & background images that some members have added, as well as website links, locations, and badges awarded by the system:
These are the same user cards that pop up when you click a member’s avatar anywhere in the forum.
Visit your Preferences to add a profile image and info – get your Autobiographer badge.
You’re not obligated… but it would be nice to know you a little better!
