Why has Fiverr changed the public profile pages and removed the skill test results from it?

[uk1000]

Lots of sellers will have completed skill tests on the site, some were mandatory and we were encouraged to do them.

But on the redesign of the seller profiles that gets shown to buyers, the skill test results aren't shown at all now. Why have they been removed? Is Fiverr assuming too many people cheated on them? They're still on our private profiles.

Is the new profile design a bit temporary until more things are added as it seems a bit more basic than before? It also doesn't show all our active gigs on the page at the same time when the other one did - you have to click an extra button to see them all - surely that will make gigs harder to find.

Hope it will be improved. As you said it looks very basic. But the positive thing I see, in my opinion, is the portfolio. It is more noticeable with this new design.

Skills tests will not be mandatory, but are an opportunity to increase buyer trust by proving your skills in the subcategories in which you offer services.

Some are now mandatory for having a gig in a category, but it said "an opportunity to increase buyer trust by proving your skills in the subcategories in which you offer services.". - but they aren't showing them to buyers now so it doesn't help prove skills to buyers.
