Hi Foss!

I have a few questions about Categories. First, I noticed it is possible to add them to a user profile page but it seems to be rarely done. I was thinking about adding a couple of categories to mine but wasn't sure how appropriate that might be or whether you would recommend it. If that would be okay, I'd like to at least add the Windows category to my page. I checked and it looks like there is an existing category for each platform but none are used for that many pages and I figured it might be better to use them for user profiles instead or in addition. Imagine if someone was a Windows user, like me, and all that person had to do to find other such users for platform specific game questions was to go to that platform's category page. I realize we already have the players list for this but I don't think this would take away from that. The other category I would like to add to my profile doesn't exist yet. I noticed I'm still categorized as a Poweruser under user rights. While I realize that is really just in name only and doesn't give me any extra privileges, I also know it's virtually meaningless unless someone can search to find those who are Powerusers, which doesn't appear possible, neither by using the search function nor by the list of all users. But it would if there was a category for it and anyone with the Poweruser designation added it to their profile pages. Assuming there are that many of us. I realize there are already 184 categories, which is why I'm asking if it would be okay to add this one.

Thoughts?

By the way, I'm trying to be better about adding the Community category to my uploads. 😍 I noticed you've been having to add them for me. Sorry about that. I can't begin to imagine how much work that alone adds to your work if you have to do that for everyone's uploads. Ugh!
