Here, I will explain a legitimate complaint about these new profiles. Read the last paragraph if you're too lazy to read everything. If you haven't already noticed, the new profiles prioritize your clothing over the games you've made. You actually have to click into a different tab within the profile page in order to view the player's places. And once you're on the places page, you either have to click a button to see all of that player's places or you have to click through them with two arrow buttons. This "feature" dramatically reduces place traffic. For example, I have a fairly popular place, so people will generally go to my profile to check out my other games, since this is now so difficult, most people no longer do this. I published a new place when the new profiles came out. For the first day, I gained no visits on that place. Then they reverted the update for a couple hours and I gained ten visits. Since the update has been re-implemented, no more people have visited this place. So, in all the time with this profile update activated, I gained 0 place visits. In just a couple hours without the update, I gained 10. I'd say this is a problem. If you make a game after this profile update, no matter how good it is, it'll fail. Very few people will play it because it takes too much time for them to try and find it.

ya i like the new layout but it needs work for sure i think they should add it to section of there profile called Games and Projects that is displayed right off the bat mainly so if some one wants to know other games by a developer when they click on them its right off the bat games by them plugins by them models by them shirts by them ect. e=mc squard?

yeah i agree. its like they tried to hide all of the hard work you put in to make a good game so people will play it. also, roblox emphasizes WAY too much that the new profile is easy to use. IT IS NOT EASY TO USE!

ROBLOX is soon supporting us to choose where our "tiles" go so no biggy. Bloxy Cola. Who gets addicted to that stuff?

Support. The new profile removed some features I can time travel, but only into the future at exactly 1 second per second

I'll wait until these features for the new layout come out, then I'll support or not, currently it's garbage and I lost a average 87 vists per week on my wip showcase, frustrating for me.
