I have searched and can't find reference to this request, so here goes.

I would find it much more useful when reading through nodes if the writer/poster of a node had their XP level next to their name somehow. Whether this be via a coloured dot or the number 1-10 in brackets etc. With the number of people on here obviously some names become familiar, but I can't always remember where they sit in the XP level tree without clicking on them.

Over time this may cause problems, as levels change, do old posts keep the XP display they had when they were posted, or are they constantly updated with the current XP level? I'd lean with the former to accurately support the purpose of this request, but will fast moving monks feel degraded by this documentation of their rise to sainthood?

Just a thought.
