User info below name/avatar gone

[vindasal]

I just noticed that the info on the left side below a user's name/avatar like date joined, number of posts/likes has disappeared. Seems to be within the last week or so, it happens logged in and logged out, and it happens both on Firefox on my iMac and Safari on my iPad. Was this an intentional change or is it a bug? I suppose it discourages post/like farming, for what that's worth.

If you hover the cursor over the username, you will be able to see join date etc. Some members have their profile set where doing such is not possible so as to discourage unwanted contact and or forum stalking.

In regards to your two examples, I am able to see information hovering the cursor over the username.

I only see details after tapping on the user name (on iPad, anyway)

It was intentional. It seemed unnecessary when tapping on their username gave you the same info.

Thanks for the clarification, as I had come here just now - to the SFF section - wondering whether anyone else had noticed this, and I had also wondered whether this was a glitch, an error, or a deliberate decision.

Was it an overhead issue to have it remain? I liked to click the little drop down arrow for a quick look without having to move to a new page to see the info.

It's not a big deal to me either way, but am curious if it was software overhead and you're trying to minimize it for an overall better user experience.

It seemed cluttered and was looking at adding something else.

It shouldn’t be an extra page. Tapping on username brings up a pop up on desktop and mobile for me.

Now I'm interested to see what that may be. 🙂
