sandman
Maybe it's just me, but when I read posts from some users in the forums sometimes I want to check that user's campaign, and when you click on their name it shows their account information but there's no link to his/her campaign.
This is what I'm talking about:
* If you click on my nick this is what you get: "Sandman":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/account.php?u=30499
* And it would be nice to have a link there that points directly to one's Obsidan Portal profile: "Sandman - Profile":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/sandman
So, this is really a feature request for the forums, but I think it could help the community members get to know each other's sites.
Anyone feels the same?

Still this would be a convenient addition.
In general I think the OP forums need a great overhaul as it lacks many features that are standard in other community forums.
I agree, the forums could be improved, a lot.
After logging in (the forums), go to the _Account_ tab, then to _Personal Information_, and there you can _add custom infomation_. For example:
* Label: My Campaign
* Value: your campaign's url
You can check my profile to see what it looks like (just click on my name).
Even though this doesn't help when you want to check someone else's site (at least for now), it will help when other people want to check yours. If we are lucky, most people will take 2 minutes of their lives to add this info, and soon we will all be able to use forum's profiles to access each other's campaigns without having to look for it in the Search box. It's also a good way to promote your site.
Hope this helps anyone, and if you found it useful please *leave a comment* so that this thread gets bumped frequently, that way it will reach more users.
Cheers,

Glad it's been bumped back to the top.
This is actually really useful and I don't think many folks are aware of it. Haven't seen any mention of it elsewhere on these forums or the suggestion threads.
Actually this is why I usually do a signature, so it is easier to find me.

...and good point, killervp, I suppose one _should_ have a signature...

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" and hit [Enter], the following happens automatically:
-Thorvaldr
DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianportal.com/
All you have to do is download the program, 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!

Shame the forums still don't recognize https, only http.
