A question for the Administrators. Would it be possible to add something else to the profile section that shows up on a post? I'm thinking an addition of; "Present Device" and maybe: "Device History".
This idea came to me when I was reading a post and someone was talking about their device. I had seen them state before what they had but couldn't remember. After looking at a couple of other posts I found it.
Having this information would also be helpful when someone posts about a problem they are having and omit their device. I have seen the same question numerous times when someone would try to help; "What kind of device do you have?"
Having a "Device History" would also let you know at a glance how wide their experience is. If you add this, make sure to leave plenty of space for Thumper.

Re: Profile Addition
We're looking into it.
I think that it's a cool idea, although it's possible to get *too* detailed about it. That is, listing all of one's devices plus a rating seems a bit much.
That said, until we can figure out how to do this (if at all), why not edit your profile and put a list in your signature?
A word of caution about that, though: Please let's not put long lists and pictures in the sigs. Just a list of maybe what you own and what you're currently using. I'd hate to clutter up the board with posts that have longer signatures than content.
Edit: I just put something in my sig to see how it looked.
