The topic of customisations on the profile page has been discussed for quite a while.
For example, this old thread (2018) Feature Request: Profile Page toggle for board/list game display
Or this newer thread (late 2025) a “Tutorial” on “how to custom your profile”.
Many rejoiced, but the discerning reader might have picked up on some concerns, for instance
or this other one, which is very thoughtful:
Frankly speaking, since the profiles started to go wild, I am finding myself avoiding them as much as possible; all that customisation does not “spark joy” at all. I don’t want to wait two minutes to open up a profile.
Therefore I would like to make a radical suggestion.
A global toggle, to be placed somewhere in Settings.
Light mode profile, vs full profile.
In full mode, the profiles would be rendered as is today: with any and all custom CSS, never-ending list of games, (injected Javascript/XSS attack vectors that may be possible now or in the future), and so on and so forth.
Light mode - a bare-bone version of the profile. NO custom CSS, NO custom scripts, just username, avatar, rank, last 10 finished games, count of currently ongoing games, maybe a tally of the number of trophies awarded, maybe the first 150/200 characters from their bio in plaintext; ladder status, and the ever-important information if they are on vacation.
Something that loads quick, gives the information, and has the added benefit of being more inclusive of hidden health conditions.
Thoughts?
