Meant to be Seen

I wonder why there is no way to view other user's profiles on this board?

On other PHPBB boards like http://www.phpbb.com/community" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; you just click the username in the list of messages, forums or topics, then click Send PM; however here on MTBS3D you either have to select the username and copy/paste it from the clipboard, or type it from the keyboard right away.

Was this a conscious decision to disable the feature for some reason, or just someone setting an option incidentally?

I just tried and it's correct. However, this worked before the latest changes.

I don't think it's related to the latest update, it never worked at least in the last few months.

Ok. I know we had this feature once. You could click a name on the active users box and get their profile. It wasn't that long ago and i probably errorneusly connected it to the upgrades.

Hi!

Sorry about that. This was a security precaution to cut down on spambots and the potential for hacking.

So this feature will remain permanetly disabled, won't it?

I'm afraid so. It's for your protection.
