[RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
[RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
The current user profiles contain a link to search a user's posts. Instead the user profile page itself should display a list of the most recent posts under the signature section. In addition a search box should allow filtering these posts further. The search code as well as search result display code should be reused for this.

This will make profile information not fit into smaller resolutions.
I can't say I ever found it difficult to click the link to see a user's posts from their profile.
If we implement the other rfc linking user's post count to their post search this will not be needed.

Re: [RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
There's still quite a difference between having a well hidden link somewhere on a page full of information, and actually displaying the information right there.
Screen size is no reason not to add content to the bottom of that page. You'll have to scroll if you want to see that content, but the main profile content will fit your screen just as well as it used to.
I do think the kind of content a user generates is some of the most interesting information you can find about a forum user, and it deserves a place directly on the profile page.

If you put the posts below everything that is already on the profile page then my objections are mostly moot, but then one may not see much without scrolling at which point what is the benefit really?

What's wrong with scrolling? That's like arguing that there should be one post to a page to reduce scrolling.Oleg wrote:If you put the posts below everything that is already on the profile page then my objections are mostly moot, but then one may not see much without scrolling at which point what is the benefit really?
In both examples, number and size of HTTP requests would increase.
Re: [RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
I agree with naderman too. Also, the way the user details are displayed is not that good either.
Maybe a column in the left with the user info and a bigger column to show that user recent activity would be better, like this http://www.theverge.com/users/nilaypatel
It also could be configurable in the admin panel if the admin choose not to put that info there.

Slightly better English than it was in 2005, still improving

Sure, if scrolling can be avoided that is nice - but having information on a completely different page purely to avoid scrolling? There's no reason for that.3Di wrote:the less the scrolling is... the better.. you know? No need to argue here, IMHO.

Re: [RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
Sure, reducing scrolling is generally a good practice, but if it's scrolling vs. useful content (keyword: useful), then the useful content should win. People expect to scroll whenever they visit a website, so they won't mind too much.3Di wrote:the less the scrolling is... the better.. you know?

Re: [RFC] List most recent posts on profile page
Well if your worried about space, why don't you look at something like this: http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/tabbed_profiles/ Would that fix the issue of not having enough space? That also means that we can do the same for topics as well.
