Thanks for the replies and, if I may, one other minor thing I have experienced and have had to try to work around with is the visibility of the mini-profile card too and what is displayed in it.

Because only a little of the text is shown, say from the _Latest_ view when you click on a profile icon, I’ve had to think of ways to almost write some kind of _hook_ which would encourage people to click in and read more. That’s quite challenging when you can’t control the functionality or layout very much (as a user).

I understand that t it needs to be _mini_ but having something native that encourages users to click in further to read more would be quite nice. I’m not 100% convinced that the further click on the profile name is obvious enough to make users aware that they can even do it.

Jus thought I’d add this, I did raise it before in a separate topic but if there is going to be some love given I thought I would see if I could go full heart ❤

🙂
