Granting Access/Subscribing Shortcuts

I've recently arrived to dreamwidth (er, hi everyone!) and after trying to friend find the people I already know and catch up with the people like me coming on the new wave of invites, I noticed something cool and neat.

If you have your dreamwidth inbox set to notify you about people subscribing or granting access, you can go check them out or immediately subscribe/grant access back directly from your inbox.

Also, if you just pass your cursor over their username at ANYTIME, a box will come up to join communities, subscribe, grant access automatically rather than going to their profile and all these added steps.

Maybe this is something utterly profound and/or everyone knew about already but me, but I thought these features were really cool, so I wanted to share with everyone else.

Welcome! :)

The popup box feature was imported over from Livejournal and has been available there for a while too; if you like it, you can go to Viewing Options and check the box next to Hover Menu. I love the little popup box, I can't believe how much work it's saved me since they put it in...
