What is a "maker ID"?

Maker ID is a 7-character, unique signature of a maker/studio. It's short enough to squeeze it into your profile description or on the fursuitter badge, but whoever sees it can just look it up here and will find your creator.

For example, imagine someone posted a nice photo of himself goofing around in his fursuit. You navigate to the guy's profile:

Having a known maker ID you can easily find them on the list using the search field on the right:
