Postbit Modifications

Suggested changes:

• Add each user's join date to their postbit.

It's extremely informative and helpful to know someone's join date. Of course, you can look at their profile, but it's not the same because when you're reading through a thread and skimming through 20-30 posts at a time, a quick glance at each user's join date as you skim through is far more convenient than clicking on every single profile. It's very helpful to knowing whether the post you're reading or replying to was written by a long-time member or a new member who just registered this week, which might even help with spotting suspicious sales without having to look at their profile. Perhaps it also slightly rewards older members by giving them something to showcase.

• Swap around the colors of "Reputation" and "Reactions"

In the current postbit, the total reaction number is green with a positive sign, and reputation is grey and barely visible/noticeable. No clue why someone's total reaction count (an essentially irrelevant piece of information) stands out far more than someone's total reputation. On top of making it green, I also suggest making the total reputation number bold to make it stand out even more.

Visual examples (coupled with my suggestion here to rename "Messages" to "Posts").

Maybe remove the reaction count to reduce distraction from the other pieces of information, which are far more relevant for a trading community.

I do agree with this, let's see what other people think about this.
For me, it just improves the overall look and looks more professional.

I believe something like this should have been implemented long ago. Hope to see this coming to life.

The purpose of the postbit is not to give you important information you should know before trading with a user. You should always be doing your own due diligence on who you're dealing with before you do to minimise the likelihood of being scammed. Adding this just seems like unnecessary clutter in my opinion.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
