So I notice how you can make a direct link to cards. I think it would be a great idea to also make it so that you can do it with members as well.
Look at my case for an example:
I just joined here because my husband thought it would be a great way to learn more about magic, the cards and the game play. Now I am still currently updating my binder for trade but we share the cards so his is ultimately mine as well, I received a message for a trade and let them know who he was and to check out his binder.
I was able to link the card making it clickable to go check out the card by putting the name between {} and when letting the member know who my husband is I thought it would be helping to also be able to make his name clickable to direct you to his private page, that way you are not searching through to find the member, you just click his name link and it sends you there.

Idk I just really thought it would be more helpful this way. I saw also you have trusted trader lists, it would work well there!

Maybe an alphabetized user list in the Welcome Section?

If it was just a matter of curly bracket linking, we might have a problem, considering how many users chose card names for their handles. 😉
Well there are some 14000+ users ;)

Well seeing since the curly brackets are used to direct you to the cards in the data base maybe when it comes to members you can use the square brackets instead or something like that. There are always ways of getting around that.

We already have it, Akroma

Awesome, I wonder why more people on here are not using it. How do you do it? So I know for future purposes. :)

You can quote him to see the details, but it looks like he's embedding a URL with Akroma as the display words, which looks a bit clunky, imo, but it works.
