If you do support the new layout, please, adequately bring out your non-personal and personal opinions along with reasons to show why it should be convincing to like the new profile layout. I find it ridiculous that the people who support the new profile layout could say "I like it", without giving any convincing reasons or explanations.

The following are based on widely agreed reasons and actual facts.

•You can't view another user's favorite games, thumbnails, or places.
This would mean you cannot discover new games, builds or thumbnails by stalking people. To favorite those thumbnails like "favorite if you love jesus" or "oders in real life" or "Robloxian 3.0" thumbnails will now become pointless. Your favorites don't show, as well as others. I'm sure many would agree with this.

•You have to click multiple buttons just to see what you want, instead of seeing nearly all the information you want on just on page. It has complicated things, and it's inconvenient.

•Layout design slightly resembles twitter pages. Roblox should be roblox, not mimicking other social networks. It's not about being "professional", or being "upgraded" or "ahead of the curve" it's about being user-friendly, being original, being roblox.

•A user's group isn't listed in one small organized space. And you can't see all the groups the user is in in just one glance. This could potentially reduce the number of people joining new groups by a little bit.

•Blurbs are a disorganized mess, as you can't enter a new line anymore. It's all one paragraph. I'm sure many would agree with this as well. You also can't see the entire blurb at one glance, you got to click a "view more button".

•Looks too much like a mobile app, impractical on a computer. Space is wasted.

•A user's creations are now much more hidden, socializing and catalog items takes the spotlight rather than displaying user-created content.
You got to click so many buttons just to see the user's creations, and thus, the thumbnail is now an ugly rounded square, which is not only blurry, but in very low resolution. You can't see much detail from that. Nobody likes small square thumbnails with blurry resolutions.
Because of this, a builder or game maker will have slightly reduced place visits, but not significant. There's also a lot of wasted space surrounding the tiny square thumbnails. I'm sure we can all agree that if it was rectangular, and larger, it'll save up a lot of space on a webpage, as it will be used to show important information, rather than blank space.

•It severely hurts graphic designers, and those "welcome to my profile" thumbnails. People earn robux by making nice graphics and then selling them, and it looks perfectly nice to the profile page, and you can sort of treat them as a wallpaper. Besides, this also drives graphic designers to be skillful, competitive, and creative. The "welcome to my profile" thumbnail can also be an extension of your profile blurb, further expressing yourself, as a individuality. Or, it can just express whatever you want.

•The new layout of your inventory page also prevents you from listening to audios, right from the inventory. You got to click all the way to the audio page itself just to listen to your favorite music.

•The entire inventory of a user used to be listed on one page, it was organized, practical, and simple. Now, you got to go to an entirely different page just to view the user's inventory. Why make so many page when you can merge them into one, like it used to?

•I'm sure there are many more reasons not listed, about why people don't like it, personally. For me, I think it's impractical, inconvenient, and unsightly.

I just realized this, but when a new update comes, people start to nitpick at things that they didn't even care for until it was changed.

Its like people want ROBLOX to feel sorry for themselves for no reason.

I don't usually complain about new updates, but really, this new update just removes everything that is user-friendly. It removed everything we adored. This is the first time, I've been so actively involved in the argument that the new layout is terrible.

It's not like anyone REALLY went onto other people's profiles to see their free modeled stuff.

If someone had something to show, then he/she would try to bring attention to it.

Exactly, it's not only wasting space, but showing information we do not desire to see. Now, they are showing it as if it's one of the most important, and desirable information on a profile page.

I pretty much was saying that no one really looked at each other's places other than they posting about it.

To add on anyways...

Do any of you really stare at people's homepage for hours on end? Does it really affect anything really other than some things moved around? Did any of you really care about welcome to my profile thumbnails? Do any of you care what color the tabs are?

If you guys care about other people's profiles, its like you guys are complaining about it becoming too much like Twitter, but acting like you want something like Twitter.

I mean like
if they like it, they like it. pretty stupid that suddenly they'd need to explain themselves as to why they like something.

Checkmate.

I do. We all profile stalk. Especially to people we care, and our friends. We like to check out people's places and builds, as well as profile blurbs.

People did care about "welcome to their profile thumbnails". You get comments saying "nice thumbnail" and the creator also cares about creating or buying them in the first place. Yes, indeed things have been moved, and now it's not convenient.

@ 0nesh0t | Well you got two opposing sides of an argument. To win, you got to be reasonable. You don't just like things without reasons. There will always be reasons.

I too hate the transition to a "mobile-first" layout, but it is practical for a smartphone. This is just the Windows 8 problem all over again. What is designed for phones/tablets is annoying yet workable on desktops. Ideally We'd be able to choose between the classic and "mobile" design. But more realistically people who are annoyed enough will have to make the solution themselves.

The removal of favorites for things like audio or decals just baffles me.

You can still "profile stalk" by hitting those 3 dots and press "join game". You don't need to know what game your friend is playing since if you care about your friends, you would play with them anyway right?


And I guess you didn't read the point that, if people wanted to show something cool, then they would give people a heads up about it other then people finding out themselves since it would take them ages to find out about it anyway.

Before, we can know what games a user is playing with one glance. Now, we got to hover our mouse onto that tiny green button? That is just impractically inconvenient.
Sure, that may be a true scenario, but some of us would also like to know what game they are playing before stalking, since there are some games our friends do not like.

There are many different possibilities, with so many users on roblox, and they all exist.

"We need to hover to the tiny green button"

So 1 little movement is gonna make all the difference?

You will get use to it, and who knows, it could probably be more convenient then the other one, and you can still view what your friends play by going to your own homepage and at the bottom, it saids "friend activity".

But which friend is playing the game? And which server is the friend in? And how is it "convenient" to move your mouse so much instead of just glancing in one mini second?

I for one wished they had the click option on that green button to take us to that game. And Looking through favorites and groups are now growing tiresome since it has updated.

it's unintuitive and hard to navigate.
