Um.

You guys do know that the head of the spiffy little linked username, like so -- azurelunatic -- links to the profile, right?

And do we need to userdoc it?

Yes. But it took me a surprisingly long time to figure that out... like, many years after I got an account.

Of course, it took me a year+ to learn about protected entries, as well, so I might just be slow ;)

[azurelunatic]

It just came up in #dw, and this is the sort of basic site awareness that ... I can't imagine not knowing it, my self, and that's exactly the sort of thing that I need to be on the alert for as a docadmin.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Yes I knew that (because I think it was in a news post back in the day and I used to care enough to read that shit), yes it needs to be userdoc'd.

[rydra_wong]

... no, I didn't know. *facepalms*

[hakeber.livejournal.com]

I think I know that on some days, and not on others. Yes, it should be userdoc'd.

[conuly]

Uh... yeah?

[ruisseau.livejournal.com]

I knew about the one next to my username up in the top banner but had no idea it worked on everyone. So, yes, userdoc it. :)

Ah-ha! So THAT's why sometimes clicking on the username links to the entries, and sometimes to the profile! (I hadn't noticed they were two separate links. But then, there are reasons I call myself the Clueless Wonder.)

[pne.livejournal.com]

Yes, and yes.

[xugglybug.livejournal.com]

I knew, but it took me a terribly long time to realise, iirc. Yes, it should be doc'd.

[sraun]

Yes, I do.

Yes, it needs to be userdoc'ed.

Every graphic element that has a function other than "be on the page and look pretty" needs to be userdoc'ed.

(And I still think the Communities & Feeds icons on my info page should link to somewhere useful.)

I did know that. And I feel I am completely representative of the average LJ user... oh wait, dammit...

[hotarunokokoro.livejournal.com]

Yes, and appearing from the replies, it might be a good idea to doc it. I think it's kinda cool myself and was as thrilled to learn that as well as how to use a cut!
Don't mind this old L.J. addict...

It was pretty obvious to me from the beginning, just by hovering over the icon and seeing the changed URL in the status bar. Am curious about how many people don't actually know this.

[azurelunatic]

Look! It's a poll! http://synecdochic.livejournal.com/324226.html

[gameboyguy13.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, getting to it on my friends page :)

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

I totally didn't know that either. (Or, maybe I did, but then promptly forgot about it.) :x

absolutely nothing to do with anything

That "accidentally" icon drives me nuts. Accidentally what?! I want to pick it up and shake it until the missing word falls out.
