    @Maesenko: In terms of forum signatures, like many solutions here at Obsidian Portal, I have a hack! I've been using "Texter":http://lifehacker.com/238306/lifehacker-code-texter-windows, which is a simple but fun utility. Basically, you define a string. Let's say... opsig. Now, when I type "opsig," the following happens automatically:

    -Thorvaldr
    DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianportal.com/

    All you have to do is add a hotstring (in this case, "opsig"), type what you want it to change to (in this case:

    bc. -Thorvaldr
    DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianportal.com/

    ) and set your trigger. So for me, this will only happen when I hit [Enter] after typing "opsig". You can set the trigger to be [Tab] or [Space] as well. Or just have it change everything instantly!

    That's an incredibly useful little utility!

    EDIT: It looks like the main obsidianportal.com domain uses hosting by Amazon Web Services, whereas the forums.obsidianportal.com subdomain is hosted by somebody called Net Dream. This shouldn't cause any problems with integration in and of itself, but to me it suggests that the forums have been set up with some third-party software or service that may not easily support integration or customization (i.e. OP devs have limited control over how the forums work).

    So having forum profiles link to OP profiles may be a matter of reworking the whole forums, which of course would be a much larger project.
