+1 I don't like it either. I like the idea of having your own background, that's a feature I always wanted - but I hate that you can only use backgrounds you earn. It detracts from the uniqueness of your profile customization. I'm not a fan of the layout though.

agreed. i checked the new steam beta this weekend and my report is: it still plays games, it still permits to chat and trade, it still even has achievements (as if i'm interested into them at all), plus it gives away cards that are convertible to money if sold, generating a extra income to me for new games and to valve for being more profitable a company.
i call it win win.
for sure, this was about the new profiles. so. wtf cares about them?

To get cash from people eager to buy cards for real money? During summer sale I'm getting pretty much one free discounted game this way, even more if I decide to sell all my cards soon. Still can't decide since I don't know if they're gonna be useful later or not.

I sold all of mine during the time when they were still in the 90+ cent era,and was able to buy a $15 game with about 12 or so cards. Onto the part if they might be useful later on, probably not as prices are decreasing and they would probably only be useful for gaining xp.

Guess you're right, just sold mine. Should get 2-3 really cheap games during sales for what I've got.

its ok, i actually find it better, im the type of person that likes changes because stuff gets to get boring and repetitype, (i dont like constant changes very 5 seconds thought, that is why youtube is still not to my liking)

Levels and such are a bit silly, but I kinda like some parts of it. I love that the profile descriptions are now formattable text instead of plain text plus no more than 3 links. The recently played games thing looks pretty nice. I do think its a bit silly that, with how focused on badges this update is, there's no easy way to see badges in progress on other people's profiles. I always end up going to badges like I do on my own profile before remembering I have to go to inventory.

Ah also another thing missing is that people with very long descriptions will be cut off and you'll have to click View Info to see it all. A tad unfortunate, as it's your own profile so I would assume the information about you should be as easily view able to others as it could be.

like the new features and additions, the layout just needs to be re-organised

Hey all, as some of you are aware, the new Steam trading cards beta adds new profiles which I feel are very much more aesthetically pleasing, and long overdue, but some things missing from them that I miss are when it showed how long you've played a game in the last two weeks AND total(now with the new profile it only shows total time played) Also, I enjoyed seeing my most few recent recommendations up for display without needing an extra click to navigate to them, as well as the small picture preview of our sshots on our profile. I'm just curious what you all think about the new profiles.
