Updated student profiles

Hiya Treehouse Students!

We sent out some changes to the student profile section of the site just before the weekend. If you go to edit your profile, you'll notice we've added things such as linking your github account, a small "About me" area, location, and more. Much of this information will now show up on the updated profile page and if you link your Github repository, it'll show your public projects too.

We're pretty excited to roll out these new profiles and have more changes on the way!

Is it just me, or do the number of commits display incorrectly? I have some repositories with 2–30 commits and on my profile page they range from 148 to 1316.

Philipp Antar: We're checking into the commit count accuracy and hope to clear that up soon.

Aaron Kalin - I'm seeing an issues with the badge boxes not flowing correctly, on the new profile page when viewed in Chrome 27. The page looks fine in both Firefox 21 & Internet Explorer 9. All tested on Windows 7.

The issues are noted with red arrows on the attached screenshot.

Looks fine to me on Chrome 27/Windows7. Try viewing it in an incognito window. If that still doesn't work, perhaps reinstall Chrome.

Aaron Kalin - I should also mention that I have my OS DPI at 135% instead of the 125% which is the default on Windows 7 for my 17" 1920x1080 screen.

As an aside, lots of page layouts seem to break with OS DPI changes, even though it's a commonly used setting to increase the size of a typeface OS-wide for accessibility reasons.

The DPI scaling in Windows, does indeed wreak havoc on many websites and programs. I've noticed that Chrome does a particularly poor job of handling it compared to Firefox.

I think Windows 8 is supposed to handle scaling better.

In any case, I don't think the issue is with the Treehouse website.

James Barnett There aren't really any good "fixes" for this issue. Browser scaling tends to handle it better as long as it's not set to only font-scaling. The issue you're encountering is when the font-size is cranked up to the point that some badge descriptions become 3 lines long. That breaks the grid because it's now pushing itself into the block below it, and that havoc just cascades downwards.

I'd like to see Bitbucket on profiles as well, since I use it much more than Github.

That's a great suggestion! Will check into seeing if we can integrate with their service too.

Hiya folks! I just rolled out a small update to the Github portion of the user profiles. After checking through the data, it seems we could not get an accurate number for your repository commit count. Instead, we went with number of forks and what github now calls stargazers for each repository. While I was at it, I also fixed a bug with the show/hide repository functionality too.

Looking forward to seeing more in our user profiles for students soon!
