The Person Profile displays a list of the profiled person's branches.
Depending on mod options, this mod can turn each branch name in that list into a hyperlink that pops up a list of all branch members.
This mod's options determine whether anonymous visitors and logged-in users are allowed to see the detailed branch information, and thus whether the branch are actually hyperlinked.
While this mod controls which information about branches can be seen by different classes of site visitors,
The separate Regroup Person-Hide Branches mod controls which branches are visible to those classes of visitors.
Also, the Show Branch Users mod adds branch-assigned users to the list of branch members in the popup box.

Notes |
- The father of Universal Pictures, was reputedly the most good-natured and least neurotic of the studio bosses. After immigrating to America in 1884, spent the next decade at a series of dead-end jobs, mostly in Chicago, then worked for another twelve years at a dry-goods store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. A salary dispute led Laemmle to quit; he returned to Chicago with hopes of acquiring a store of his own, but he bought a nickelodeon instead. Soon Laemmle had also established a film distribution business that became one of the largest in America. In 1909, he produced his first picture, a 15-minute version of Longfellow's "Hiawatha". By this time Laemmle had become a leader of the "Independents, " producers and distributors who defied the would-be monopolists of Edison's Patents Company . In the late 1910s, Laemmle's company, Universal, was the country's leading film producer; its California facility, Universal City, was built in 1915. Although Laemmle made a handful of prestige productions, such as Blind Husbands (1919) and Foolish Wives (1922), his output consisted mostly of low-budget westerns and melodramas, churned out in a process designed to resemble a factory.
