I don't agree.

There are two very useful uses for the UserID in that pane:

1. It's easier to put someone on ignore. Just copy his ID number, go
to my account etc.
Now I have to click his name, fiddle with copying his ID number out of
the URL, which never works as I want it to, will always select more
than just the number, then I go to my account.

Your "wish" gave me more steps to go through. Thanks. Will you (Nic)
now send David some code so he can add an 'ignore this user' button at
the bottom of posts, next to the white x on the red background?

2. It was easy to check if a person had more than one account, by just
leaving the forum thread on one of his posts, then open a second tab
to do some User Searching. Now I have to open a third tab with the
userID URL.

But OK, if the UserID is useless info in the side-pane, then the
account registration (joined) date is as well. All of the numbers can
be found in the user's profile. Why not just throw them all out, leave
only room for the avatar and be done with it? Especially the credits
and RAC as those can be added in a very long signature picture.
