Linking threads to verified accounts

[Burning Fanatic]

For any lolcows with verified accounts, could we add a link to their thread via the about section of their profile? Some are far more obvious to identify like Yaniv or Bryan Dunn, though for others with completely different usernames, it would be nice to have their thread links attached.

Glad i'm not the only one who thought of it, maybe embed a link to it in their "person of interest" badge or something?

But you can also just type in the username in the searchbar and filter to titles only. Chances are they're added or just PM a mod about it.
But I guess that's just too much work and it would be far simpler to whip our sla-webmaster into coding more minor bells and whistles into the site.

I never asked for anything that would require "coding more bells and whistles into the site." Adding a dedicated link to their thread in their about section should be pretty straightforward. It also helps to distinguish verified users (like LordKat and FROG (Ethan van Sciver)) without their own dedicated threads from the ones that do have threads.

Maybe you could make the little Verified icon itself a clickable link to their thread, depending on if they have one or not. Maybe indicate it using a different color, because otherwise, some people might end up thinking that that icon will always link to it without any different indication, and just cause unneeded confusion.

Like for Yaniv, it would be clickable and be...I dunno, green? But for someone like LordKat, it would be the normal color and non-clickable.

That's what verified is for. If someone is mislabeling users between the two then that's their fault.

Off topic, In know, but I thought it might be fun if the random text could be hotlinked to the post from which it came, if applicable. There have been a few I'd like to see the thread for.
