Quoted from HighVoltage:A lot of times I want to click on the user name to see their profile from my mail index. But unfortunately the names aren't links there, you have to open the actual pm or get the link from elsewhere.
It would save spurious page loads if you could do it right from the index page instead.
Agreed! I always thought it was odd that PMs were not clickable links. It always seems the fastest way is to look up the name via the community tab. I believe the 2 circles with avatars at the top of a PM thread are clickable so I sometimes do that.
