You know that information is already readily available on each member's profile page, right? At least, it is unless a member chooses not to share it with the community.
Member Profile Pages are a little-known and grossly under-used resource on this site. One problem is that we tend to want this information when we're in the Forums. . . but if you click on a poster's name here, say, you go to that person's Forum Profile page, which is different from their Public profile page. You can reach Public pages for many folks from the Home page; just scroll down until you see a "Members" section, followed by a "Who's Online" section. Clicking on any of those names will take you directly to their Public page. Otherwise, it's easiest to just open a new browser window and type: pipesmagazine.com/members/SCREENNAME.
For example, to see my member page: http://pipesmagazine.com/members/rmbittner
