    I've seen a lot of people link up their Google+ account, but they don't do the part they need to do on their Google+ account and set the "contributor" thing on their Google+ account.

    You can test if your account is linked (if you want), but putting in the URL for a thread you started on the structured data testing tool. If it says "Verified" in green, you know it's done properly. For example, this thread:

    It would be really nice if there was a way where users could link their Google+ account for it, and not have to go add the forum URL for sites they contribute to on their Google+ settings, but w/e... :)

    This has been extended to items in the marketplace. Google+ treats "Contributor to" for different sub-domains separately though. So if you want your face to show in Google search results for marketplace items, you also need to add https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com as a URL you contribute to (under your Google+ profile).

    More details on how to set your Google+ contributor links can be found in the Google+ section over here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/account/third-party-accounts

    An example of how marketplace items will look in Google search results with the authorship enabled:

    A minor addition to the authorship stuff within the digital goods marketplace. It shows pricing right in Google search results now too.

    It's hit and miss... Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

    Any chance of releasing this as an XF addon/plugin?
