Profile Page Makeover, Part 2: the Prototype [duplicate]

Question

Wow, that took longer than expected (though right around the 6-8 week mark), but we finally have a semi-working prototype of the new profile page.

Recap

There’s a longer explanation on part 1 but the gist of it is this: we’re splitting the profile into two pages:

• An “About Me” page which is what other people see when they look at your profile. It highlights your best stuff in a way that lets users quickly get a sense of who you are and what your interests are. For any deeper dives, you can switch over to the “Dashboard” view which houses everything else.

• A “Dashboard” page which is what you see when you go to your profile from the topbar. It highlights the stuff you need to get to fast, and hides the stuff you don’t care about (your “about me” section, your Twitter profile, etc.). For now, it is just the existing view but we’ll work on this part next.

This part is just focused on the new “About Me” page.

The New Stuff

The prototype is only working on Stack Overflow so far, but you can try just about any profile by going to https://stackoverflow.com/users/reloaded/{id} (note: SO-only for now, must be logged in). Here are some handy examples:

• Nick Craver
• John Resig
• dr jimbob
• Sophia Taylor

EDIT: The historical reloaded page is no longer visible, but it looked something like this:

We made lots of little changes based on your feedback, but the two biggest changes are the Tags and Badges sections.

Tags

The tags section now gives a very basic visualization of where a user does most of their posting. The section shows between 6 and 9 tags for each user, and the size is based on the percentage of posts a user has in that tag. It's easiest to just look at some examples here:

• Eric Lippert - one primary tag, six small tags
• Jon Skeet - one large, two medium, three small tags
• Adam Katz - four medium, three small
• Sajad Lfc - six small

The exact rules for how the sizing is done are still in flux, so if you notice a profile that seems off, just let us know and we'll see if we can tweak the rules.

Badges

After the last proposal was met with at worst confusion and at best a lot of "meh", we went back to the drawing board on the badges section. We were deeply inspired by this image:

We decided we wanted to focus on two things:

1. Your most impressive badges, so they don't get lost in a pile of more common badges. If you're one of ~500 users who has earned the Generalist badge on SO, you darn well deserve to show it off.

2. A visual representation of just how many badges you've earned. At some point, 1500 bronze badges becomes just another number, and it's hard to wrap your head around the sheer quantity. So we wanted to show the number visually. For new users, we wanted to feel a sense of accomplishment every time a new one shows up, and for top users, we wanted to show just how ridiculously many badges they have.

So here's the result: - Gheorghe Bulicanu - a newish user - Nerdess - a 1k user - SLaks - a top user The "Notable" section at the top lists your rarest badges, based on the number awarded on that site. The "Totals" section visualizes how many you have, and scales with your badge count. It also shows gold, silver, and bronze as different sizes to emphasize those rarer badges.

Other changes

We've made lots of other changes, but just a few I'll call out:

1. The "About Me" section is easier to read, fits more, and hides less.
2. Tags and Badges now use standard site styles
3. The "Top Posts" section allows you to sort by newest
4. The "Top Posts" section no longer shows badges, since it was too confusing
5. Meta activity has been added to the sidebar (it’s just a placeholder right now -- we know it doesn’t work!)

Other notes that were common questions / requests:

1. The current job and link to Careers profile are hidden for now, since they'll be optional anyway. We'll bring them back in a future version.
2. The "Apps and Projects" section will be available on all sites (probably just called "Projects"). And yes, we know this section is just an image right now -- we'll get around to implementing it soon.
3. Nothing that appears only to you on your profile, or to a moderator is implemented yet. This is just the “viewing somebody else’s profile” view.

Feedback

We know there are still bugs, so we’re looking more for big-picture feedback than minor bug reports. We’re still actively building the page, but wanted to get the early prototype out for feedback sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think!

Answer 1

Badge popup

As I commented on Josh's answer, I'd love to see something like this:

As a concession to the case where you have a lot of badges, particularly bronze, how about something like this:

---

Update: I made a demo

I've updated this so all that needs to be sent over is a list of badge ids. The HTML is then expanded from the list.

Answer 2

DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING | KEEP IT LIKE IT IS | NO MAKEOVERS

Answer 3

tag section

The new tag section has three fewer tags and takes up nearly twice as much area. It would be nice if it could be condensed while still retaining some of the interesting information (such as score in tag). Since space is an issue, and people are already used to the format, I think keeping the old score display still works here.

To make it fit, perhaps cut the line-height and the height definitions from .tag-container and cut the padding in half. The tag area takes up a lot of space in my opinion, and it really doesn't need to be that spacious (unless there is more planned to go in there in which case disregard the spacial note).

To me, this just looks cleaner

than this:

Answer 4

There doesn't seem to be a way to get to a list of all my badges at the moment.

There's also some bits that seem like they should be clickies (a.k.a. "links"), but are just images.

Link to the badge list, sorted by classes, or (maybe better), a page for each class.

---

There's a lot of dead space here. At least the "Posts NNN" text should be a link, I think, to the same thing as the tag image to the left. But why not the whole box?

---

There's a link for these right below the table, yes, but these Q and A bubbles look like filter controls, especially being next to the Votes/Newest sort buttons.

---

The heading should link to my full list of badges, and it would be cool if clicking on each of the groups led to a page displaying that badge class.

Answer 5

Please, please, please do not make the profile pic that huge! I literally winced and produced a pained sound when I clicked on my test profile page. It looks horrible, completely over-sized and just needlessly occupies space.

I could count the pores on poor Slak's face and could easily count the pixels on nerdess'. We have had various discussions over the years with the SE team politely explaining that no, this is not a social media site but a Q&A site. Why this sudden urge to make our profiles appear like facebook?

Everything else is much better than version 1, I think you might be on to something here but just please make that pic smaller.

Answer 6

Top Tags

The first profile I looked at was my own (obviously ;-):

Two things that stick out:

1. No percentages.

   Presumably that's since I have 205 posts and so my top tag is < 15% or somesuch.

2. posix is odd here.

   My one answer just happened to be to a really popular question. (I guess I should be glad the algorithm didn't pick up my answer to a die question.) This set of tags fails to highlight my best stuff. If there were a way to eliminate secondary tags and focus on specific languages, that would help make this section more meaningful. shell, unix, and oracle seem less meaningful than c, lua, and regex in my opinion. I don't really know how to separate then algorithmically, however.

A user's tags are kinda boring

But the far larger problem is that tags don't tell a good story in isolation. This section reminds me of the terrible "Skills" section of resumes. It doesn't tell anyone anything useful about me as a programmer. If the tags were listed next to each "Top Post" we wouldn't need the "Top Tags" section at all. Since this cuts off the bottom of my "about me" section, it should be awesome. Instead, it just gets in the way of the good stuff below.

We already get this right in other places:

• Careers 2.0 profile:

  

  

• Stack Exchange profile:

  

I think a traditional tag cloud tells a better story. To me, this looks like me:

All I did was grab the tag set from all of my questions and questions I've answered (using this query) and pasted the result into a cloud tag generator. (The one I picked strips punctuation and single-letter words, so c# and .net aren't displayed properly.)

Here's brian d foy, who knows way more about Perl than I do:

The story is more interesting because you can "read" it at a glance. brian is an expert in Perl and I dabble in a variety of languages including Perl. Notice that this doesn't take into account anything but frequency. With tag scores and badges, a visualization could be substantially more rich. Perhaps tags could be colored gold, silver and bronze for users that have the equivalent badge in that tag.

It strikes me that 6-9 tags displayed with dry statistics lack the context provided by 25-50 tags displayed according to frequency. My tag cloud accurately tells you how often I thought about the POSIX spec (essentially never) while answering questions. brian d foy's tells you that the books he listed in his "about me" are worth buying. Can you tell the story of this user?

Either list tags with "Top Posts", find a dramatically better visualization of tags, or move "Top Tags" way down on the page.

Answer 7

I think the rep count gets a bit lost on the right hand side, the 'reading trail' usually starts from the left and moves down.

Reading direction in blue, rep in red:

Possible alternatives:

• Rep next or underneath the name

• Some highlighting or weight for the number that would drag attention to the right side of the layout

• Rep as an overlay on avatar?

Answer 8

I would rather see this:

Than this:

Or at the very least, I would like to see the 'recent' section. The visualisation itself doesn't add much value for me, and the 'recent' section is far more valuable.

I get what you're up to here with the visualisation, and I understand you want to give us a sense of scale for just how many 1468 thingies is - because at that scale it becomes just a number. The dots don't actually add all that much for me, though: seeing all the dots there makes me think "that's a lot of dots", which is not much different to thinking "that's a big number". The sense of scale is lost to me either way. I do see that 641 silver thingies is a lot more than 66 gold thingies, but I already knew that.

(Maybe it's different for others, but the numbers themselves have more impact for me than the dots. No lie, I'm actually surprised those are a whole 66 gold dots: it doesn't look like nearly that many until I count them!)

What's far more important to me is what the badges are that they have. Hence being able to see a list of their recent badges, similar to what we currently have, is important to keep around.

Answer 9

Please don't take this as a negative stance to what is being accomplished here. Your continuing drive to try to innovate is much appreciated, but to me the benefits seem to be a little on the 'light' side.

1. Tags

It's great having more information such as the amount and percent of total posts a tag represents, but this means nothing if you just post rubbish, and post a lot.

Instead, (or in addition) we should have tag score as well as the percentile you are within the tag vs all other users.

Also, having only a few tags on display gives the wrong impression. If all your tag post amounts are separated by a single post, does this display make sense? NO. Maybe on the left have the top 5 tags in a table with scores, then a collection of other tags in some space to the right. Or the current list of top 10, but with more metrics.

TLDR:

Problem: Unconvincing use of space, potentially unhelpful metrics

Solution: Keep tags the same size, display a (sortable) list with information, including tag score and percentile of all users for that tag. Do this for maybe the top 10 tags, similar to at present.

2. Communities / Top Posts from other communities / Top Meta posts

I'm not sure whether it's just me, and I know the current profile page has a list of accounts..but I often have to provide a link to my Stack Overflow account page to potential employers, because increasingly they are asking for it.

This is because I work in this field, the field they are interested in.

I don't want them to see an opinion I post or protracted debate I get into on meta. I also don't want them to see I also post on other Stack Exchange sites - I'm trying to present a view of myself about programming, not how to invade and do unholy things to unwitting players on Dark Souls. I'm aware this is all traceable via the network profile section, which is fine- I just don't like it being so easily accessible.

Only today I was on https://money.stackexchange.com/, and I saw a pretty senior member of the Stack Overflow community had posted a question about debt. Why on earth would they want a prospective employer looking at their Stack Overflow profile immediately have this pop up in their face?? In honesty it would be great to have the option to turn off any membership of other sites from being visible - for fear of stopping people posting on them for fear all their dirty laundry is getting aired in all the wrong places.

I'm aware there is Careers 2.0 for the careers aspect, but it, er, links back to your profile page anyway, so the issue still exists. My Stack Overflow profile should be totally Stack Overflow centric - the rest of my Stack Exchange interactions should be on the metrics (Dashboard) page, if present at all.

TLDR:

Problem: I have a real issue with these lists. Stack Overflow is for programming, my profile is for Stack Overflow, and should reflect this. Employers are asking for a Stack Overflow profile link, why would I want them to see my posts in Arqade?

Solution: We already have a network profile link, I can trace through my other interactions through this. Alternatively add a new tab under the dashboard section for 'network activity'

3. Top Posts

Questions and Answers should be kept separate

They are fundamentally different things, keep them apart. They are the two sides of the site. This is not a forum site which you can reduce every item to just being a 'post'. Typically people looking at a profile care about one or another, they should be easily identifiable, and at the moment it's a total muddle.

Also, the link at the bottom then says 'View all 908 questions & answers »' with separate links on 'questions' and 'answers'...which means you aren't able to view all 908...only one or the other type. This makes no sense.

TLDR:

Problem: This is a Q & A site, not a forum, users don't have posts; they ask questions or provide answers, which are two fundamentally different things, and should not be mixed together. I view a profile and want to immediately see one or the other clearly distinguished and identifiable

Solution: Keep separate sections for questions and answers. By combining the two, you obfuscate what people are trying to find.

4. Badges, Apps & Projects, Missing Bounties/Votes Content

For the badges, it isn't obvious what notable means, even with the '1 of only..' text. What if it isn't notable to me? I'd be inclined to list the 'most recent 3'.

I'm also not convinced I need yet another place I have to maintain a list of my applications and projects. If this can somehow hook into Careers 2.0 then great... Otherwise, it feels like a bit of a duplication of purpose between the two sites.

Not only this, but we now have less information than we had before, and where are the bounties and votes sections? For some users, these are particularly interesting (even if only for seeing how close you are to the 600 votes on questions badge).

TLDR:

Problem: Content has been replaced with less interesting or less relevant content. No bounties or votes sections. Duplication with Careers 2.0 page with projects area, Badges section not really interesting any more - usability replaced with looks.

Solution: Keep an area for bounties and votes. If we have a projects section, ensure it can be linked to a Careers 2.0 page, change notable badges with most recent / notable sortable list, dont use badge graphics for each badge, just have badge x number.

Answer 10

Per balpha's request I've tried to expand my concerns into an answer.

My main problem with the redesign is: It moves a lot of the information I want on a user's profile under "dashboard" and/or makes it harder to get to. Here's a brief overview of everything the new profile page has, and the stuff it's missing I think it should have:

• Newest questions and answers

• Top questions and answers

I really prefer the two column layout, one for questions, one for answers, but I suppose I can get used to one column. However, it would be really good if you could make the little icon that differentiates between question and answer more.. obvious? Currently I have to look at it really carefully to tell if it's a question or an answer.

• Badges

The new profile really doesn't have this, I can see their top badges, and I can see their total badges, but that's it. There isn't even a way for me to see a list of all their badges, much less recent ones. This was already addressed in several answers and I like what they propose.

• Votes

Sometimes I am interested in a user's voting specs/habits. There isn't anything relating to votes on the new page what.so.ever.

• Reputation

This isn't a biggie, but hey, shouldn't there be something to do with reputation on the new page? I could care less about tags, but that's thrown right into my face! (more on this later).

• Tags

I go to a user's profile when I want to look at their tag data, top tags, tags they have a score of 5 in and just tags in general. The new mockup has some interesting specs, but it doesn't show score or utilize space well.. at all. As another answer noted this could really be improved. Right now there is just too much space, and it looks ugly.

• Bounties

I feel this is a big one. There's absolutely nothing about bounties. I think the new profile should at least show active bounties.

• Top posts from other communities

I feel this shouldn't be there. If I want to see a user's network activity I will go to their network profile. Right now it's taking up space that more important things could be occupying. Like bounties, reputation, votes, etc.

• Apps and projects

I think this is a cool idea and inclusion, but it isn't going to be much use outside of the programming sites (my understanding is it only ties into GitHub, did I miss something?) (the projects section will let you use arbitrary links). I suggest you put it on a flip-card like thing with "top posts":

That will make more space for important things. Or, if you're feeling up to it, make it customizable per site. We could have Launchpad Repos on AU, All Recipes recipes on cooking, etc.

• Accounts

Often times I have quick access to a user's account on my main site and I use that as a jumping off place to get to another of their accounts (for whatever reason). This is actually well implemented, and I like it, although swapping the "network profile" with "more accounts" like you did will take some getting used to. Also, long site names could use some tweaking ;)

• Top meta posts

This is really cool, and a great way to expand "Meta profile" into something a little more useful.

• Mod buttons

Please tell me you didn't move all my mod buttons under the dashboard...

---

tl;dr

While the overall design looks nice, it feels like most of the functionality has been made harder to get to, and the idea of "two" profile pages (dashboard/profile) makes it feel... awkward and duplicated.

Answer 11

Why is there so much blank space? Why don't all of them have percentages? Why is html so much bigger than css when it only has 3% more posts?

Answer 12

There's rather much blank space.

Current left, proposed right:

Answer 13

Can I choose the posts that appear in Top Posts from other Communities? (sidenote: capital O for Other?), or at least hide ones I don't want there, similar to how I can choose what gets displayed on my Careers 2.0 profile?

Also, should Meta.SE posts be included in the list? Meta posts and meta votes are rather different, so maybe should be included in the Top Meta Posts section rather than other communities?

Answer 14

I like what you have done so far. I think it would also be good if we could see the awarded tag-badges against the top tags.

Answer 15

badge section

If the new badge display is going to be showy then let it be. It needs to have more than 3 badges for those who have earned more than 3 awesome badges.

Jon Skeet comes to mind, mostly because of the example in this post. He doesn't seem to have much more than the other users because only 3 "notable ones" are listed. Sure, there is a list of bulleted badges below but to the eye they are small enough that they sort of blend into a lot of noise. The 3 are the main ones that get noticed, and almost every user has at least 3 badges.

Did you know Jon Skeet has 44 gold tag badges? While his zone of badge bullets below is impressive, there is nothing else down there and more than likely users wont scroll just to see how far the badge bullets go. It would be nice if there was a way to work in at least a few more of his impressive badge work. I am not sure what that would entail, but 3 doesn't seem to really represent the "notable" section enough in my opinion.

Also, some of the tag badges are kind of notable, especially when you were the only one to get them

Answer 16

Staff feedback in comments: the project section will allow arbitrary links! :D

---

The "Apps and Projects" section will be available on all sites (probably just called "Projects"). And yes, we know this section is just an image right now -- we'll get around to implementing it soon.

Thank you. But this needs to be implemented correctly if it's offered to other sites, and that should mean the following:

The projects section must allow arbitrary links.

Currently it just displays github, and it seems that was the original plan. But if expanded to other sites, it must allow us to link to whatever site we want: a tumblr link, a github, our personal domain at example.com. Otherwise it's going to be not very useful, because most other sites won't really have a reliable central project hub.

For perspective, this was going to be SO-only in the first version of this profile page redesign. We requested it here and here, and the first of those links was the 5th-ranked answer. I'll quote my comment from there, which gathered 16 unicorn points:

+1 Please make this available to other sites, and don't limit us to whitelisted hubs. On RPG.SE, which is not techincal/programming, there are people developing their own RPG systems, and I'm working on a tabletop simulator. All of these projects are as significant to us as github projects are to a developer, and none of them have one single hub site in common. Arbitrary links might come with spam concerns, but we can already provide an arbitrary link in our 'website' field.

You may get people promoting their own sites, and I'll be linking to my own tabletop simulator site & blog when it's launched, but if those sites are our projects, that's kind of the point! If you're concerned about people providing inappropriate links, like a Kings of Chaos recruiter link on Arqade or a sales referral page on Server Fault, (a) we can already link to those things in our website field, (b) you should counteract this with some means of drawing moderator attention to these fields. But not by limiting us to whitelisted hubs.

Answer 17

No matter what awesome formula you are going to use to determine the Top Tags - somebody will always be unsatisfied with them.

Me for instance - I do not want PHP be one of my top tags since I have no idea about it and don't even like it. Or maybe someone is totally proud of a tag having only a score of 10 on it.

Can we just make that list editable so we can just put there what we want?

I guess it should be named Favourite Tags then.

Answer 18

The tags section does not use the available space in an optimal way. There is too much blank space (mentioned before by bjb568), and long tags do not fit in a box as seen in the screenshot below (hint: look at the google-chrome-extension tag).

The tag overview looks fancy, but unfortunately it is a bit weak on conveying information. The currently most important piece of information is missing: The number of (up)votes. It has been replaced by "% of posts", which imo is a bit redundant because you can easily estimate the % of posts by a simple calculation. Please revert back to the showing something related to votes (e.g. your rank within a tag (absolute or relative)).

Answer 19

One problem I noticed immediately is that some of my meta posts are listed in two places:

All my posts that are in "Top Meta Posts" are also in "Top Posts from other Communities", making "Top Meta Posts" redundant except for where it displays the number of meta Qs and As.

Answer 20

Top tags

Considering tags are huge, they can contain more information like tag badges (100, 400, 1000 upvotes). Blocks can be colored based on percents. But they are still just wasting space.

Top posts

I'd rather see Q and A icons colored. It's hard to distinguish them at first glance.

About me

I don't see any point in removing Age. Location is barely readable (why #aaa, not #eee?).

And it's not clear where links below avatar come from.

Communities

Old Accounts list was better. I like badges.

Badges

Notable badges should exclude lower tiers. There's no point in showing "Epic" if the user has "Legendary". (Or "Publicist" and "Booster" in my case. I'd rather not see these random linking badges at all, if possible.) And more badges can be displayed than just three.

Answer 21

Ugh. Show More? I really dislike those, because it takes much more effort to click than it does to scroll down. Furthermore, this expands the "about me" all the way, so a long one pushes other important stuff downwards:

Additionally, I dislike how I have to go find the "Collapse" link to collapse it. I would prefer it if this was similar to the asking/answering questions box: with a scrollbar and the ability to increase the size:

---

Also, the communities list has really long names.

I prefer the idea of taking the big favicon for the site, putting it in a box, and adding the reputation on the right. Then, the communities can be listed in a flow layout, with an immediate mouseover with the site's full name. Something like this (perhaps less grid-like or without the box; with a mouseover/expand when mouse over a site):

Answer 22

One thing: can there be an option to change the background of it, almost like a cover photo? I made a mockup here:

A picture is worth a thousand words*. Excuse my pun. :P I think it would be a great way to add some color and personalization to a profile. Plus, moderators could mess with Jon Skeet's cover picture and change it to unicorns some people could add fun meta-themed photos!

_{* May be more or less than one word depending on compression, file size, computer architecture (64 vs. 32 bit), etc.}

Image source... hope you like the mockup because I got a lot of weird looks today.

Answer 23

Can we have some control over which badges are displayed as "Notable"?

Or at very least, tweak the logic to give a higher priority to tag-specific badges since I feel they are ones that users are probably the most proud of.

Right now my "notable" badges are Convention, Electorate, and Pundit, none of which are very impressive.

I would much rather show off my gold WPF and C# badges

Answer 24

Some feedback (I'll skip the positive and concentrate on improvement suggestions and/or complaints, sorry):

1. "Notable badges" logic seems wrong.

   Mine didn't list perl tag gold badge - which seems more notable both conceptually, AND by rarity (37 ever awarded) - than "Booster" (1000+ awarded and not that big of an achievement).

2. Badge visualization: you can't hover over gold badges and see what they are.

3. The space utilization IMHO needs to be re-worked.

   In case of SO profile, a picture is NOT worth 1024 words.

   My Gravatar takes up 50% as much space as the "About me" text... which in turn has so little vertical space as to be almost useless.

4. Related to #3: there's too little vertical space for "About me" text - and nobody will ever read the full text if they have to click a link to expand it.

5. Top tags list takes up too much vertical space. You can squeeze 100% same design into 33%-50% less vertical space by removing margins; and free up space for #4

Answer 25

I like the idea of the visual badge representation, a lot. But when you get to people with a lot of badges, something weird can happen:

There are quite a few more bronze badges than silver ones, yet the size of the badge-dots-area is less than half of the silver one! Even though there are actually more dots, it makes it look like there are lots more silver badges than bronze ones. I think this is a little odd. I think there's something going on where gold and silver badges are supposed to be bigger than the bronze dots in all cases, but on the profile you linked for someone who only had bronze badges the dots were still pretty big... So, I dunno. I get that silver badges are more important than bronze, but it just still seems strange to me for it to be SO much bigger when there's actually a lot less of them.

Answer 26

I question the criterion of deciding what a top tag is. I think frequency of use is more meaningful to me than how much reputation has been awarded in the tag, and better reflects interest in niche topics that differentiate. Top tags is almost redundant as it stands with top individual posts anyway. My #2 tag is apparently "static" which I've only participated in twice (and I didn't pick to add that tag on those posts!). Whereas "Delphi", I've used more often than my #1 tag... But that doesn't even come close to appearing in the top tags list because it's a niche topic that doesn't get a lot of votes compared to say, Java.

Secondly, I dislike how prominently my participation on Biblical Hermeneutics (BH) (for example, top posts in other communities) shows up on the new Stack Overflow profile. I don't want my top BH posts on my Stack Overflow profile! I want my Stack Overflow profile to reflect my participation on Stack Overflow...not hobby sites, I'd prefer these less integrated, or at least an option to hide particular sites/questions from the "top sites" and "top questions" list.

Answer 27

If this feature suggested here (hover for badge) is implemented, we'll need to make the badges bigger.

The badge view looks fine with a new user:

However, when you look at Skeet:

You get the point. If the hover feature was implemented, then it would be impossible to use for some users. Although this shows me that almost six thousand badges is a lot, it makes the page much longer than necessary. And unicorns don't like bragging. I vote that we either veto this whole badge idea (I don't like this option much), or move them elsewhere. Maybe if it's too long, split it up into two columns?

Answer 28

there is no link to view the user's Meta.Stackoverflow profile... I just noticed this while viewing Jon Skeet's profile...

What is this guys? Didn't expect this from SE programmers!! (lol)

Answer 29

Interesting. Nick Craver's apparently posted 108% of all his posts.

Under his Top Tags, 75% of posts were in jquery, and 33% of posts were in Javascript.

At first glance, this is a little bit unclear. As @Mystical points out, this is because tags overlap, but from the outside, it just looks incorrect.

Answer 30

Several points I would add (I hope I don't dupe any points mentioned before):

1. I don't consider my profile text really important on SE. Currently it serves its purpose well: my TeX.SX profile; in the new profile, it looks a bit strange: me reloaded. I suppose this is the case for many people. People are here to help or to get helped, so why the focus on personal info? (Btw, notice how ridiculous useless the gravatar is.)

2. The Q and A buttons would use some work IMHO. In large scale, they are quite indistinguishable, same shape, same colour. I think that the most important thing you want to know is whether the user excels in questions or in answers (which is not necessarily given by the number of them).
   
   In small scale, they look like a circle and an up-arrow:

3. The on-mouse-over change in the community list, if it needs to change on mouse over, could be done in a bit more sensible way. Currently, the rep number jumps a mile when you mouse over it, which is quite distracting. Let's keep the rep on right and show the badges on the left of it:
   
   I understand the point that the order is always rep then badges. If you want to keep it so, let's make the badges either shown all the time, or not shown at all.
