Well... in XenForo you can just do it from the MemberCard, so you don't even need to go to the profile (the whole purpose of the MemberCard in the first place
) to do it. So basically I have not much of a problem with it.
But... looking at this example:
... I agree that in those circumstances it is not quite that clear that beneath the 'About' information area there's an 'Interact' section, so regardless of the Membercard I decided to 'like' this suggestion, because for people who are already inside the Profile and want to PC a member from
there it might save them from a little searching. In relation to this: it actually also took me quite a while to discover that the function to 'Find all Threads by User' was also present there in XenForo. I use this function quite a lot.
This brings me to the question:
what is more important and more often used information/functionality? Is it the signature that is presented first at the top of the screen when you look at the [Information]-tab or is the 'Interact' section that is displayed at the bottom of the screen? Well... I never look at the signature. Once you've seen it in the forums, you've seen it? For me it is much more important to be able to contact the member in an easy way than to look at the signature inside a profile. On the other hand... when you use paid Advertisement's inside a signature (which I do), then it is actually very beneficial that the signature is presented there
first. Maybe a new dedicated [Interact] tab would solve all 'issues'?.
