The new user page layout · 7:56pm Dec 21st, 2013
I think it needs some work. For one, I don't like how the right hand side of the screen is fixed at 300 pixels, because I think that makes it look scrunched up compared to the left hand side of the screen, which is 1,000 pixels wide. Why not go for like 500 on the right and 800 on the left or something a bit more reasonable? Also, the biography module is now pretty useless, whereas before you could put stuff about yourself, now it's just limited to your short bio. So I had to create a new module for my long bio, thereby taking up even more space on the screen. And it would be nice if the bio module could be on the left hand side of the screen, since that's where most people had it before. Also, the groups module is way too big. Each group that I'm in doesn't need its own line, because I'm in like a hundred plus groups and it means people have to scroll through a lot of stuff just to get to the comments.
Hopefully Knighty will fix some of these issues.

Yeah, this looks really bad. And I hope it is fixed as well.
I certainly agree here.
I do agree about the size restrictions; I would like something along the lines of 400 and 900. However, things like groups, watching/following lists, and favorites are primate candidates for the right side of the screen, whereas you can use the left side, pull up one of those featured story galleries at the top, and put the five you want to have the most prevalence and they'll be large and up top.
While I appreciate knighty's sentiments, I think he done goofed. And have you tried visiting userpages on a mobile phone? They're now even more broken than they were before!
About the groups thing, if you move the module to the right side, it makes it smaller by making it a scroll-through. Same thing with the watchers mod.
Just noticed the new Profile Page design, and I must say, I'm not that fond of it, either. My big Bio Module is gone, everything looks silly, and I'm not happy with the way it looks now. At all.
First we lose the customizable backgrounds, now this.
Hey, Knighty! Haven't you and your guys ever heard the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?!
1632500 Yeah, I noticed that. Yet another "improvement" that I don't like.
