Green arrow on profile
Jump to: Newest in thread
The green arrow that is so handy in the forums would be even better if it was also on peoples profile.
You could click it to see their forum posts, which is a great insight - as useful or more than the profile. |

Fabulous idea OP, but most Fabbers don't use the forums. So not worth implementing.
However the way around it is:
From your home page, select forum, recent threads you posted to and in the URL remove your username and enter any profile username.
If they post in the forums that will take you to the page you're looking for. |

True, but would have thought it would be an easy implentation, since the function already exists.
Your copy and paste URL is a handy workround tip. |

This has been requested several times, and on a personal note (as a party organiser) I would find it very useful
Seeing someone's forum comments would certainly give me a better insight and would make me think twice about welcoming them into our events! |

I suggested this a while back, and got called a stalker! 
Just tried the above suggestion and worked perfectly thank you. Like someone said, it gives you a little deeper insight into the personality of the persons you are thinking of meeting and can help you decide! |

Agreed, but soo sorry everyone!
*stalker alert*
Damn it! Haha 
On a serious note hope it reveals what you're looking for and the green arrow brings as much pleasure for you as it has for me over the years
Slightly off topic, but still sticking to the forums... I have noticed there are a few new forum users and they don't know the wonderful world of smilies 
Just incase they happen to be passing through or lurking...
Or grrrr-ing 
I will go into the Fab archives and bring forward the smilies thread with the full list. All you have to do is you guessed it...
Use the green arrow next to my name. What better way to test that feature and all the smilies will be revealed.
Wait...
Don't rush at once! I need to see if I can find that thread first.

....or OP you can just type this into the search bar www.fabswingers.com/forum-poster/(insertfab username) so that is how I would do it by putting the username after the forum poster part and that tends to work for the most part....kind off like a vetting procedure or insight. |

"Lots of folk on here dont know how to
Get on the forums
Know the forums exist
Or do but can't be arsed ...
So its pointless really
Its usefull for folk who actually DO use the forums"
Well not pointless then . It has a lot of use for lots, but would come up with no result for a lot of people.
The function already exists, so it's a quick win. |

It's something to do with the extra time it takes to load a (profile) page, if it has an extra link embedded within it. It's not the actual picture of the green arrow, it's all the back-end linky-things that sit behind it (technical term ). Admin once said that less than half of one percent of Fabsters use the Forums, so for the vast majority of profiles, it would be slowing down the site unnecessarily. |

Thank you for taking the time to explain this, it makes sense. |

I don't think that's correct. It equivalent to less than a line of text. You can see examples above of how to type it in to your browser. |

I concur. As someone who has created many websites, adding the green arrow to the profile page, or next to a username in a list would have ZERO impact on the efficiency of the site.
