Description So this is a really difficult feature to explain. However, throughout time, I've received several complaints about ocPortal's and Composr's catalogue entry screen and profile screens. People say these screens look too business-like and "data-entry" like.

Though for catalogue entries, I feel less sympathy because catalogues are meant to be data-driven, I can have sympathy in terms of profiles. I feel Composr can improve a bit if the profile screens (and any other applicable social screens) looked "social" opposed to "business-like".

Take a look at the demonstration screenshot I have of how many [social] content management systems lay out their members' profile pages (my screenshot was modified a bit to try and incorporate a possible look for Composr). In my opinion, this look is clean, modern, and very social-friendly. I think if profiles had a similar look (granted, due to Composr's goals and functionality, it may not be exactly similar), they would be more welcoming and more personable.
Steps to reproduce

Additional information The left panel under the avatar would change to vertical tabs when a user goes to edit their profile.

Perhaps our current "photo" section should be used as "cover photo"; the photo feature as it is is pretty useless at the time, especially when you can upload an avatar instead. I've never seen a CMS with a separate avatar and photo feature, except when said photo feature was for cover photos.

This design I provided is probably best for the Bootstrap theme, but I still think our default theme profile screen could use improvement.
