    I view people's profiles quite a bit for trading purposes and otherwise. Currently, the default is "Profile Posts", which so far 100% empty for every profile I've ever viewed. The things I really want to see are under the Information & Stats tab, which I tend to confuse which to click to see what I wanted to see. I doubt I'm the only one finding this a bit annoying.

    Being an annoying ungrateful bastard that I am, as well as someone making $ off of usability design, I prefer less clicks to take to get to the most frequently used information. I would like to suggest combining the "Information" and "Stats" tabs into 1 and display that as the default tab.

    Thanks.

    Information and Stats were previously a single tab but it could be a very long single page, especially with the additional stats that are likely coming soon with the site redesign. I don't mind those separated but would prefer to see Information as the default rather than Profile Posts.

    I can definitely live with that.

    The basic stats already appear in the left hand side of a member's profile page. For those who want to drill down more, it's a single tab click to display pre-loaded data (no further page loading happens).

    We also separated Stats from the Information page as we have plans to add more member stats, they felt a bit lost on the Information page, and now they standout and have more room for future growth.

    So why not make member stats the default and save a click? We want to encourage profile posts as it was recently re-enabled, however, that can't be achieved if it's not the default. And member stats occur regardless if you click on them via member profile page as they're throughly integrated throughout the site already.

    Thanks,
