Invision Power vs XenForo Member Profile Tabs

[DRE]

Switching through member profile tabs in XenForo is just like vBulletin

Vs.

Switching through member profile tabs in Invision Power:

Why did you decide to go the vb route instead of giving us an option?

I personally think the Invision Power profile tab switch looks cleaner and more impressive.

I like the vertical tab switching style, but I like XFs implementation too.

Yeah they both look great.

I'd say Xenforo and vBulletin's is more closer to Facebook or Myspace.

Web designers following UI/UX tend to agree that the horizontal sub-menu on a social page has the preference.
This allows for the "F" way of reading, supporting profile details such as module-boxes to be on the left, and dynamic per page. Rather than requiring their own page(s). Heatmaps during a/b testing seem to support this theory as well.

I agree.

A other profit of this is, that you have more space and you can add more tabs (which is IMO a horror at the current profile!)

You can define more tabs vertically. I imagine with all the mods there are avaliable (Albums, infractions, medals etc.) the profile tabs get too much populated and get messy. Either there must be some sort of scrolling function to slide to other tabs when there are to much of them or the vertical view is more appropriate.
