Add a Plurk username tag

Title:
Add a Plurk username tag

Area:
site-specific markup

Summary:
Add another user name= tag for Plurk.com.

Description:
I'd like to see a new username tag for Plurk.com profiles, the format of which is http://www.plurk.com/username. There's only one main page for each user so nothing separate to link for the userhead. I believe this would be particularly useful for parts of the journal-based RP community where Plurk is often used in place of chat/IM, PMs, email, etc.

Ohhh yes please.

Yes! I was hoping someone would get around to requesting this before I did!

One potential thing for the implementers to note about this, if it is added: Plurk usernames are case-sensitive, so mine (LassarinaAthyn) is different than lassarinaathyn.

I'm pretty sure they're not, actually? I tried visiting your Plurk profile just now and both the capitalized & non-capitalized versions got me to the same place.

[lassarina]

--huh! Interesting! I know I've had Plurk's internal linking (like Twitter @replies) fail to work if I didn't capitalize, so I assumed linking did the same.

I've never had the @replies do that do me either oO Off to test this out...

edit: Weird. I notice that when I change the case of a username, it will show only the username and not the display name, but still seems to link to the same place... Go figure. (I wouldn't be surprised if we've both been right about everything at some point though, lol, given how often they like to tweak crap without mentioning it to anyone :|a)

I don't know the site so I don't have an opinion but I think if there's a user tag there should also be a connect field on the profile.
