Member profile files link - removed in 4.0.

[TracyIsland]

Hi -

At first I thought about posting this in the Ask IPS forum but really this is better suited as a suggestion and idea topic.

Since the launch of 4.0, I have reviewed the new member profile layout several times.  I have concluded that the development team made some logical decisions on why to show this or that, and also why it was important to remove other items. 

I am curious why you decided to remove the link that said something like "other files by this member" or words to that effect in the new member profile. 

Issue:  Let's use @Adriano Faria as an example.  We could engage in a long debate about the ease or difficulty in finding a file by a developer in 'Downloads aka Marketplace' in 3.4.7 but I would rather mention that it was always easier for me to view Adriano's profile and just click on that now removed link to find all his files.  So if we (meaning the average or more casual ips community member who wants to find a file by a certain developer and NOT the Jedi IPS Master Developers who know and assume everyone should intrinsically know where and how to find everything) look at Adriano's 4.0 member profile, what do we see? A left sidebar column that mentions the marketplace but no link, and the wide right that shows his activity feed. 

Now, if I do click on the button in the upper right header bar that says 'See their activity,'  I see the 'All activity' list of Adriano Faria but it doesn't tell me immediately how to find Adriano's submitted files.  If I click on Files under Downloads, then I do see all his submitted files.  But how would I even know, as a casual observer, to click on that 'See their activity' to find the list of content and then click yet again to find his files. 

Now, if I visit one of @Rikki 's files, like this one, http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5501-ips-communities-app-gdk-ios/, you see the authorship of the file, 'By Rikki' and below it, a linked phrase that says 'Find their other files.'

Suggestion:  Add that same link @Rikki 's member profile, in the IPS Marketplace section that says: "

IPS Marketplace

• Resources Contributor Total file submissions: 3" 

and maybe do something as simple as highlighting/linking the existing language, [Total file submissions: 3]

@surferboy I think this is a good idea to have a link to files and galleries as well so that all albums and files can be quickly found on the user profile page.

The problem is that activity stream... before it was BROWSE CONTENT or something like that. More obvious.
