Below each post now on Gimplearn.net
you'll see links
pp - Previous Post (by any member)
upp - Users Previous Post
unp - Users Next Post
np - Next Post (by any member)

so upp and unp links are for stalkability of that user's train of thought. :yes :hehe

It's nice to have all the features you've added to GL.
However,
this may comes at a bandwidth cost and could potentially slow down a lot of things on the site.

Also folks could think it is a bit privacy-invading.There is a difference between things that can be done with a bit of effort and things that are brought to you on a plate.

Also, where do you stand with GDPR or are you going to reject members from the EU?

You just sound like Zuck in front of a Senate committee :)

As I said, there is a whole difference between something possible and something very easy to do. With a lot of digging someone can trace your car's license plate back to you. Given this, would you be comfortable with the idea that the random guy behind you on the highway has a HUD display of your name, address and phone number just because his car's sensors have read your license plate?

Maybe I'll have a vote on it on my forum to see if people want to leave it or not.
Right now I can go to search user's posts and find those so it's an extra click.

These queries take less than 1/100 of a second so i am not too concerned about them slowing down the site...what makes the site slow is my cheap butt hosting, it's my hosting's fault.
