About
The change to user profiles discussed in Some changes to the profile while we make it responsive has introduced some empty space. It can be seen directly in Profile page is very empty, revert to old version?. Further development on the change to reponsiveness can be seen in
This script claims the space back.
It will also scrape the user profile's activity pages and insert:
- Marked with a "⇑". The most recent/last activity skipping awards.
- Marked with a "⇓". The very first activity including an award.
- Marked with a "⌚". The current time in UTC for easy comparison.
In addition, it
- Puts the trophies/badges under the "Posts", see What is the new badge UI on the Profile page?.
- Removes the "Edit profile" quick link at the top right on own profiles, because it's on the "Settings" tab.
- Reduces the row on tags to the old 1 : 2 : 3 look.
- Adds a link to the network profile on the Community box.
- Moves meta posts to the left side column.
- Puts the meta/main link on the top bar.
Note that, especially on large profiles, it may seem a little slow due to at least trying to avoid rate limits.
From version 2.4 it also adds "profile views" and "Last seen", which is fetched from the Stack Exchange API using /users/{ids}.
