Hack: Move user actions further up a user's profile page

This thread over in the forums raises an interesting point: wouldn’t it be nice if the user actions for a user’s profile (the actions for adding them to your watchlist or to send them a BubbleMail) were in pretty much the same place all the time. Currently, because they come below the user-supplied part of the profile, and because some user-supplied text can be very long, you’ve got to go hunting down the page to find them.

If they always came before the user-supplied text you’d always know where to look.

Inspired by this issue I’ve written a Greasemonkey script to solve the problem. So, if you use Firefox, and if you’ve got Greasemonkey installed, have a look over here.

    I’ve already done it with mine by using a graphic and putting it above the other stuff

    Nice idea. Although that only solves the problem for your own profile. This approach means that you, as a user, see the same change to everyone’s profile.

    Yeah, this is something that RB has to incorporate as well. I hate having to scroll down a lot to Bubblemail a member.

    Thanks for this Dave. :)

    Sorry I thought you meant for your own profile.
    Yes that seems to work – as a moderator that could save me hours – many thanks

    You and me both. ;)

    . o O ( Well, okay, perhaps not hours, but it might save the old scroll wheel some wear )

    Glad you like it.
