I Want to Improve the Experience Project
The Latest New Profile Page
First of all, let me acknowledge some recent changes for the better. I see that group logos have been restored after a long absence on EP. That's heartening. I hope that it foreshadows the restoration of many other features whose loss we have lamented, including blogs.
I also see an option for leaving experience groups, which to the best of my knowledge was gone for a good while. If one clicks on the Groups tab and then hovers one's pointer on the right side of the Groups panel, one can see an "Leave Group" option.
We are told that EP had to change the profile page because its code was about to break. On our end we can't see the code, but we can see that with the results in the new profile page we are for the much greater part losers.
I have addressed the issue of the negative change regarding the whiteboard at <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/6974547" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a>
I am disturbed that the default view of a member's profile page no longer includes his featured story and a sampling of his other stories as well as a sampling of his Q&A action. Yes, Stories can still be accessed through a tab, but it was desirable to have several story blurbs visible on the profile page as previously. One of my old questions got a tremendous number of answers over time simply because it was readily visible on my profile page, but that can no longer happen. And the answers archive is altogether gone. I no longer have any means of searching through my answers beyond what is on Recent Activity. That's lamentable.
I passionately agree with others in this group in deploring the removal of the views counts for our stories. I feel likewise about the removal of the links for months, years, and topics on the Stories menu and its conversion to a mere Facebook-type timeline.
Recent Activity is changed for the worse because of the silly posting of the icon beside every activity and the making of each item wastefully large, which greatly limits the number of items visible on the page before one has to click "More". The same wastefully large format for the Questions menu likewise undesirably limits the number of items visible before clicking on "More".
Under the People tab, I don't understand what the icon to the left of the envelope icon is for. It would help if there was a text label when one puts the pointer there.
Since we are told the profile page change was an emergency measure, I hope EP will be flexible regarding it and will be looking to be changing it in the ways we members are requesting.
