And it would be easier to know if a user is banned or not simply by checking his profile summary. I believe a fix like this would help Fillipone continue his good services with a bit of ease and it would also make the forum profile summary a bit richer.
What are your thoughts on this?.
The BPIP.org extension is still working. With a recent Chrome update, some extensions got disabled by default. One of the affected extensions is bpip.org. If you are using chrome, you would have to manually re-enable it or just use Firefox
The suggestion you have made has been put up so many times and I guess Theymos is not willing to add anything. My suggestion is that you use the third party extension for now.
I use it, although I don't think it's ideal in this case, because it doesn't always show the real situation. It seems that there are different reasons for a ban, and not everyone is treated the same. I also saw some that were not recognized by this extension.
