It is no longer possible for low-level users to edit their profile details or signature due to links in them commonly being used for gaming search engine rankings. Fair enough, but why isn’t this information conveyed to the user anywhere? I poked around my profile and settings for 15 minutes trying to find where the option went and I got so frustrated it gave me a migraine.
I did some testing and normally when users can’t edit their profile on XenForo, they see “Your full account details are not currently editable.” in the account details settings. Despite using XenForo, this message is somehow not present on GBAtemp. This is poor UX, especially for lurkers like me who have previously set stuff (I also can’t remove outdated information about myself, but that’s a separate issue). This message should be added so nobody in the history of the world ever has a migraine again (a bold claim, I know).
