User blog comment:Dopp/New Profile Design Now Live Across All Wikis/@comment-4002547-20110818191609

A lot of people has said it already but it's pretty much like a visual slap in the face to me. The ability to link to an alternate website and such isn't needed, but probably good for people who'd like to advertise themselves. However, to those of us who only provide a minimum of information it's pretty much just big, blocky and in the way. It dominates the page quite heavily and looks more of a nuisance than anything else when it doesn't contain much.

I'd like it better if it blended in with the page more. No backdrop, no fancy speech bubble and a thinner header and perhaps slightly less "stretchy" (I think it's stretching my page ever so slightly but that could be some other setting interfering - never the less it feels too wide for me).

Not sure if this would work for those who fill all fields of it but as it looks on my profile it could very well be compressed towards the icon, leaving the right side open. By pushing up the badges/followed pages boxes to fill the space it'd perhaps look more like the profile is one unit instead of stocked blocks (and it would make my page shorter...)

I don't really see why the avatar size was changed but it doesn't bother me and the upload went nice and swift - no complaints there. Haven't tested the subpages yet, but this post is long enough as it is XP
