I was thinking..on this site you can click a members name and you get to see what and how many posts a particular person has posted, then have option to read them..
now this i believe gives a great insight into what somebody is about..ie..you can develop a 'feel' about that person, what they stand for, views etc..
Is there anyway this can also be available/incorperated into the main site..
like, you could read there profile and IF they use the forum as well, you could have a look at their posts as well..
this could have a couple of disired effects i believe..
1) gain a better insight and feel towards the person, and even help people with their first approach/ msg..
2) Raise the awareness of the fact that the forum exists..many i have found dont know about it..
3) provide a nice link between the two..

Also, why is the forum known as a 'discussion board' on the other site..i always call this 'the forum'...not saying its wrong at all, but is weakening the connection i feel..

sounds good to me

Thats a great idea, cuz I always tell people if they really want to know me go to the discussion boards and then i have to explain how to pull up my name and so forth. Plus it will help more people to get here on the boards

I have noticed a 'last post' feature at the bottom of profiles..but nothing seems to be there...or is it just me? Is it activated yet?.

that's true aluria... but a lot of people dont come into the forums.
