I vote for moving the “Summary” tab all the way to the left and making it the first tab you land on when you visit this page.

Also, how about ordering the stats like so?

- days visited
- read time
- posts read
- likes given
- topics created
- posts created
- likes received

I feel like that’s a good way to show a “funnel” of participation from learning → contributing → valued.

I like this idea, but is it possible to keep Activity as the main tab when viewing one’s own profile? Personally, when I visit my profile I am looking for something in my activity, not a summary of myself!

Two changes also already slated, add Top Links and Most Liked By.

I also wonder about timescale, top this month and top this quarter vs. all time. All time is a bit limiting.

We would need Summary to be improved a bit before making it the default when viewing other people’s profiles.

We should convert these to use the heart glyph rather than the word “likes” so they fit better.

In the interim, is there a way one can go about making the summary the default until it is included in a test-passed version?
