Why is the design so...bare and empty? It's really pathetically simple and wastes too much screen estate. Every single layout we've had before was efficient, compact, and information-dense. If I want to go to a player's profile and see their most successful place, it used to be showcased right there without even clicking anything, assuming the page has been loaded. Now we have the scroll down, find a small tab that you can barely read that says "Creations" and then load another page that leads to his places.

To be honest I like what Roblox is trying to aim for, but please don't sacrifice usability and convenience for the sake of appearance, or the "white space" trend.

I also feel that I should not have to struggle to look at a player's inventory. The small button that leaders to their inventory is so horribly executed, in fact, mostly everything in the profile design is horribly executed. We used to be able to easily see someone's inventory rather than having to go to literally a new different page. And not only that! But if a player is a designer then it's really hard to dig through their inventory and find something made by them like clothes. We have to actually be on the lookout for the players name. Please ROBLOX, why can't there by at least a separate tab in which EVERYTHING the player has designed is showcased?

Next up, "Collections". I get what Roblox is going for, because after all, hat collecting is a HUGE part of ROBLOX for many players including myself, but if you're going to waste screen space with a "Collections" panel at least include the price of the item right below. If I look at a player's profile and look at their "Collections", I might not even recognize most of the hats and I'd have to individually navigate to each hat's page to see their value. It would be incredible useful if the value and maybe even a "LIMITED EDITION" banner could be displayed to really SHOW why the item is in their "Collections".

But in the new profile you can see what people are wearing and you see what are their ranks in groups and also you can select what stuff you want to add to your profile and what not

Doesn't change the fact that the new profile layout is absolute trash, why can't we have the best of both worlds?

You mean the big tab button that is in the top section/header of the profile and takes up half of the section length? You don't even have to scroll to get to it...unless you are on a super low resolution monitor, it should display.

And with the inventory, you have to scroll a bit, but not much. And you just click the inventory which directs you to a dedicated page. It loads faster, works better, and has some positives added to it. The old layout required you to scroll to the very bottom of a persons profile, and then proceed to use a slightly gltichy navigation system to browse an increasingly complex inventory structure.

No I don't agree with everything in the new profile, and I also wish people had the choice to move modules around almost like youtube, or make it so creations is opened first. But if you are the average internet user who has used any modern site for at least a bit of time, I sure hope you can manage to figure out the new layout. This is easier for newer players to use, and it works a lot faster than the previous profile. With hope of future modules, I am moving forward with this layout rather than complaining that we lost our profile which was based on the original models...Even facebook has updated their profile system more than that :/

^ Doesn't change the fact that it's still mediocre and that all platforms have the same thing.Even the games page displaying as appstore icons was unnecessary.

Its more suited for phones and tablets than PC & XBONE.
