With the new username dropdown, getting to a user's profile is no longer the quick ability it used to be. This can easily be solved by making the avatar - which is currently not a link - link to a user's profile :).

Many wanted this on another topic, myself included. More and more simple taskes require more than 1 click now. :(

i'm pretty sure you will still be able to do it using this tut since the avatar isnt held in the dropdown

Simple skin edit.

Topic View > render_row

Find and replace this:

{$author['avatar']}

With this:

<a href="{ipb.script_url}showuser={$author['id']}">{$author['avatar']}</a>

Good idea.

I agree, this sounds like a neat idea and wouldn't mind having it :) +1
