As the title says: Please Include Custom Trust Settings into Profile Settings.

Regarding: DefaultTrust changes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.0)

Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

Like so: See bottom of Modify Profile for example

Reasons:

• It's a profile setting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile), and therefore belongs in Modify Profile subcategory. For the accessibility of those who don't spend lots of time reading meta threads.
• A tiny minority have customized their default trust (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139236.0) in comparison to total number of active users. It took me 5 months to find out about this setting.
• Promote the idea of decentralizing trust settings and for members to make their own informed decisions on trusting and untrusting others.

Good and simple suggestion, I like it. Giving Trust settings a more prominent place and making it one less click might get more users to actually create their own Trust list.

Agreed, but I'd rather call it "Custom Trust Settings" or even just "Trust Settings" rather than "Default Trust Settings", since the goal should be for more people to be setting up their own trust list and fewer people to be relying on Default Trust.

I honestly wouldn't have found out about DT if it wasn't because of a thread I've read in the past.

And while you're at it @Theymos, It'd probably also be a good idea to add the captcha bypass page: https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php

That one is shown on the login (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login) page.

I think it would make more sense to show it somewhere else after the user logins, so he can get his own link.

Agreed and updated title/example to Custom Trust Settings, thanks for input.
