[1878] Improve user profile layout [Redesign concept]
Patroll
The new profiles contain less information available at first glance, things are all over the place (e.g. pronouns next to Verified 18+ next to represented group), elements appear big. I believe in having more things at glance, no layout shift (things moving other things), better grouped information, less empty space - better effectiveness and readability in short.
I put together my slightly reimagined version of the design in the attachment that might better convey what could be improved.

I've been making updated design concepts and individual posts requesting each of them to be reviewed. I made a deliberate point of leaving some of the more specific choices in place so it's not a complete overhaul, and also to leave the bio at full width so it can maintain itself as the more curated and majority section of the profile.
Here are all of the individual posts, each with their own (I think) reasonable reasons to be implemented. If anyone else sees and wants to vote on them.

The ui was updated in open beta but it still doesn't solve the core issues that this canny fixes. Mainly, everything is still way too big and too spaced out.

Sorry to be hateful, but the ui before this was way better than what VRChat is trying to roll out. Part of the reason I went out of the Unity 6 Beta.
Edit: I'm gonna hate it a lot more if they continue to roll out the ui onto the main client.

Great concept. I feel like the new user profile is an improvement, but it feels way too large and does not display as much information as I would like. Your concept hits the marks that I want

Almost half the furries in my friends list or various groups right now.
(not a criticism just funny :>)

Gonna mention the "Read more" on the new UI from the beta, when clicking on someone full profile, why is it not displaying the full bio if the "full" profile is displayed, if it's only the preview one from the one handed menu sure, but after clicking on someone's preview I'd expect to have everything shown by default and not need to click that.
(On top of the fact that the "Read more" button is prtty small and I've already missclicked like 10 times trying to display someone's full bio in the preview)

I made my own redesign concept and suggestions as well, https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1878-the-new-social-menu-ui-feedback-and-suggestions
Though I didn't end up designing a concept based on other player profiles, mine was an edit of your own local profile. One thing yours is missing though is an area for the note.
Here's the image of the redesign as well. My post goes over why I made each change, but like yours most of it boils down to wanting it all in 1 screen.

Thank you everyone for the amazing reaction! This was of course put together on a single evening so there's still room for improvements, but I believe - as many agreed - it at least conveys what is the better expectation of the usability of the profiles
