User Profile Detail
The User Profile Detail component shows details about a user including contact information, profile photo, Chatter statistics, and topics the user is knowledgeable about. On other users’ profiles, it also shows a Follow button.
Chatter statistics for the site include number of posts and comments, likes received, followers, and people the user is following. Knowledgeable About shows top topics that people know about, so the site can quickly see areas of expertise. Topic knowledge is calculated based on factors such as best answers, mentions, or likes on questions and posts.
If nickname display is enabled for the site, the nickname is shown in place of the full name when a user views another user’s profile. The full name is shown when a user views their own profile.
