Hooks have been added to 1.3 (Page 2 of 2)

I disagree. I definitely prefer the current look and feel of 1.3 over 1.2. Having worked with 1.3 a lot, I just think 1.2 looks dated.

But if clicking on someone's profile takes you to the search results, how would you get to the actual profile?

Its amazing just how quickly you get used to a new look and find the old one dated, the 1.1.x to 1.2.x jump had the same effect on me

I think Oxygen in 1.3 looks better than Oxygen in 1.2. But if you don't like a blue and white look, then you don't like a blue and white look.

I would like 1.3 to look exactly like this BY DEFAULT, out of the box:
http://forum.textdrive.com

It's the theme/style I use right now, so neat and elegant.

Example:

If I click on Rickard, I want to see this:
http://punbb.org/forums/profile.php?id=2

AND ALSO THIS (COMBINED, in the same profile page, without having to do a second click on "show all posts")
http://punbb.org/forums/search.php?acti … ;user_id=2

And maybe also the poster's pic, if he/she wants to show one. Or a place to add a (longer) comment, quote or something that may give a better idea of who the person is.
That would make profiles much more interesting and meaningful without adding any clutter, imho.

Another cool and practical thing in Silicon Investor was that one could add interesting users as "peoplemarks". It doesn't mean friends, but people who have interesting things to say or are knowledgeable about -say- punBB, so I want to keep an eye on them, otherwise if I enter here a month from now I won't even remember what their nicks were.
So when I go to my OWN PROFILE here, I'd like to be able to see, at first glance, not just all my recent posts and my "subscribed topics" ("subjectmarks" were called in Silicon, meaning threads of interest), but also my "peoplemarks" (e.g. Smartys, Sirena, Rickard, etc), so I can quickly see if they've written something interesting today, and where. On large forums it's much easier and practical to follow people -that over time we've learned to appreciate and trust- instead of endless topics/threads. If there is a way to add peoplemarks right now I haven't found it. I keep mentioning Silicon Investor, because, in its heyday, it was such a cool, well designed, practical forum that facilitated so much the interesting and intelligent discussion that took place there. The threads (topics) there had thousands of pages. It was a huge and very active forum, but one could quickly see where the people one cared about were hanging out that day and skip the rest. There was also a list of "Hot topics", that was very useful.
It's a good place to draw inspiration from: http://www.siliconinvestor.com .
In a word, make profiles in general more interesting, and also make our OWN profiles more USEFUL:
1) peoplemarks please! (essential feature);
2) all our subjectmarks/subscribed topics right there;
3) all our recent posts, present, past, and since day 1.
Everything immediately displayed, at first glance, without further clicks.
