Minecraft usernames added to profiles?

On other IP.Board installations (like the Minecraft Forums), they've added a thing to your profile where you can add a Minecraft username. That username shows under your avatar when you post, near your Location. It would be useful for things like the Servers section, so that when you post that you are having an issue they can see your username and they don't have to ask you for it.

If it gets added as a profile field, it will not be displayed like it is there, you'll have to visit the user profile to see it. It's not a terrible idea, though.

So are you only able to add one field below the posts count?
I second this.

I support this, it would help forum users find each other on servers.

On the Minecraft forums, your Location and your Minecraft name shows, so clearly it is possible. I guess the "You have to go to the profile to see it" thing is just that "It doesn't need to be crazy visible, it's only really use in the Servers section anyways."

perhaps it can show up on the Minecraft forums 'cause they use a newer version of IP.Board?
I wonder if its possible in IP.Board to make it appear only in the servers section.

Odds are it has less to do with version and more to do with the extensions installed, though I couldn't say for sure.

It's just more clutter that'd only really be useful in the Servers section. There isn't a way to make it show up only there, so I don't see much value in adding it to the information displayed on every post, but I do see added value in giving it a profile field.
Edit: I have added this field. See my profile to see how it will be displayed.
