I'd love to see "Registered Date" displayed under each user's name next to their posts, right beneath "Activity." There was an old thread on this from about a year and a half ago, but it didn't seem to get much traction.
I think Registered Date can provide some useful information, and although Activity conveys some of this same information I still think that it paints a more detailed picture to know Registered Date as well and it would be convenient to get this information from a quick glance.
I propose that users be given an option to select "Show registered date by posts" in their Forum Profile Information, the same way we have the "Show post count by posts" option. I'd also hope that this feature or a similar one makes it into the new forum software.
I don't think that's needed it's just one click away from displaying it so don't be lazy.
This was the main objection people had in the other thread, as well. It would be convenient for me, and I suspect many others, if we had an option to be able to see this info without any clicks. Activity and Posts are also "just one click away" but the former is displayed automatically next to posts and the latter is optional. I'd like to see registered date be optional as well. All three figures present a quick way to learn some potentially useful information about other users.
If the staff deem this request to be worthwhile, great. If not, I'll continue to click to see user's profiles when I want to know their registration dates. Either way, I'm just expressing my opinion and trying to make this forum more convenient and helpful for its users, certainly not trying to be "lazy."
