Summary

0004353: Integrate'https://auth.zandronum.com/ [https://auth.zandronum.com/]' account system into main site

Description

Unless I'm missing something very obvious, it looks like it's almost impossible for a user to figure out the account system at first glance when looking at the site. A user will not even know it exists unless they go to the Wiki and find out.
IMO, everything feels so decentralized and scattered currently because of this.

Additionally, there should be a close link between the main site, including the forums, and the player profiles in'https://auth.zandronum.com/users [^]'

And the account site should ideally be updated to include better sorting and searching options for players. The whole account system seems to be very rudimental at the moment. It all looks very visually bland and unsupported. It would for instance be nice if people could upload custom profile pictures instead of having to rely on 3rd party services like Gravatar. There's also no sense of progression, no dates of registrations, nothing. It's just way too bland and uninspiring at the moment.

It should aim to look more like user profiles on Steam, and better match the visual theme of the main site. Maybe even have a separate communication comment/feed system on the account site that could be used between users.

And it would have been nice if the accounts were able to be unified and could be used to login in-game in addition to being able to post on the forums and tracker.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

Integrating the account system into the main site could eventually help with increasing some sense of community that seems to be missing at the moment.
