A person's WikiTree ID should be prominently displayed on their profile page without looking to the browser's URL bar or for tiny text in that green section under the manager's ID.

You can it's right after the person's name, it looks like a little pair of scissors.

Just click on it or you can find on the top right after it says My WikiTree the profile ID number is next

Or immediately below the profile manager/no profile manager line - where it says when created.

I see the scissors, but not the ID. If I click on the scissors, it says ID "Copied", but does not display the ID. Sure, I see the ID in the tiny text in that green section, and I can see it in the browser's URL bar, but a good design would prominently display the ID where you don't have to know a priori how to find it. So, this is not a request for help, because I don't need help; it is a suggestion for improvement.

No, the scissors won't help, you're right.

But the Wiki-ID is still prominent; it's a title of the dropdown menus.  Second from the left, after 'My WikiTree'.  I think that's prominent enough.
You're correct, it is there. Hadn't noticed. And by not noticing shows that it is not prominent at all! But I won't argue the point further.
