Just a general site question here. Is there some reason that when a username and corresponding avatar appears next to a person's comment, clicking on the username links to their profile but clicking on their avatar is not a link? Certainly not important but to me I identify people best by their avatar so when I want to click on them it is intuitive to click on that before I would click on the little username above it (certainly I'm not saying that shouldn't remain a link as well). My only thought for a possible concern would be the blue border around the image. I'm very rusty with html but as I recall adding the tag line border=0 will eliminate this problem easily. Is there some other reason the avatars are not linked or was it just never thought of?
The idea has never been brought up. You are welcome to add the feature suggestion to the discussion board on the dev site. That will ensure that the idea isn't forgotten when I'm working on the site.
