Makes no sense to remove peoples IGNs from posts
Can you think of any other game-related forum where people don't have the option to include what their in-game name is, so that it would appear with every post they made?
Basil included it - what? - every year up until this latest change? It's pointlessly trading off information for style. (And believe me, the style ain't pretty.)
Having to go to the player page each time for something basic makes no sense.
Strangely enough, the level and class show up with each post yet levels change all the time and classes can be changed any time through the game now. The IGN of that character would remain constant. Yet it's the one thing stripped away. What?!
Not to mention, this site and game are already dying. In what world does it make sense to not make one as relatable as possible with the other? People browsing Basil can recognize each other from the game through IGNs... obviously. Not necessarily through avatars (which also change all the time).
I'll be blunt: this new layout is one of the worst things to happen to the site and there's very little redeeming about it, but at least fix this one, frustrating and obvious thing.

True, not just this but many other reasons why this site got worse after the changes
Yeah I'm not convinced that Mr. Basil cares about this site anymore. The redesign was almost universally disliked but he still ran with it and he rarely updates anything, even the many things that are broken.
Mr Basil ruined his own website. He's doing to basil what Nexon is doing to Maple.
