 I would not be surprised if some countries had laws that said that every page must contain the text "All hail our benevolent leader" on it somewhere, would IPS need to comply with that as well?

So you've been to North Korea then?

 Is there any way to make it so member profiles and post counts are linked across all boards so our split community is more like one big community?

 

Thank you!

Out of the box, no. It's a commonly requested feature though. A couple of people say they have managed it in a test environment, but that's about it.

When you act like something is the end of the world simply because it's placed in the wrong spot people are less likely to take you seriously. Just saying.

And where was that portrayed then? Just asking.

Usually the context is provided through the topic title, which one should have read, when one clicks the link.

You're making the assumption that the question is contextually correct and relevant. Quite often this isn't the case. We don't all necessarily run forums which are full of computer literate people. I continually see topics on my sites which are created by people who are venturing onto forums for their very first time.
