I like the script, but it's a little annoying that the popup window replaces a clickable icon and username with a clickable username and a icon that does nothing.
Clicking on the icon should take you to the profile page, just as it does normally. I'd even say have it go to the normal profile and not the full one.

I also get the problem with it hanging while loading. I think it's a code problem, the javascript console shows "DOMParser is not a constructor" whenever I mouse over a user

For some reason, the window pops up, and starts loading....but it's not loading. perhaps LJ is having a "massage" right now...I'll try again in a day or two.

For some reason the font is really small on the menu for me... Also, it isn't much different from the other menu, if anything it offers more features, but isn't necessarily "better".

Thanks, JB Segal!
I fixed that.

I just installed this as my 3rd-ever greasemonkey script. Unfortunately, the User Pics link gets me my OWN user pics by dint of calling allpics.bml?userID=${username} instead of 'user=${username}'

Thanks for the report!
It went out that fetching OpenID userpic is not an easy task. Until i'll figure out how to do it in a nice, convenient way - OpenID links will be left as is.
I'll update the script ASAP - currently server does not let me to upload new script file.

can you make this work with OpenID ?
and example of "what's wrong" can be found here: comment from shaggoth.org and reply on it is OpenID accounts.
