Suggestion: User tagging in solved threads

[thedoctar]

When I click “Quote” above a user's post in the thread after you solve a problem, I get a tag like [userid=XXXXXXXX], where XXXXXXXX is a bunch of digits (primary key/id of users?) and then a quote block.

Recently I just manually bolded a user's name, but presumably it can change, which is why it's better to use the tag?

Anyway, sometimes I'd like to tag a user without quoting their message, so maybe add a link that simply copy's the [userid=XXXXXXXX] text into the user's keyboard?

Another comment, the thread fora are a bit anti-social. E.g. on the Eulerians page, it's possible to get some info about users like their description and hovering over their name shows their last activity. It would be nice to see info like this in the solved thread.

Maybe there are privacy issues regarding this? So one could have an option to disable it if a user wants to remain super anon.
