Will it ever be possible to use the site builder on profile pages?
i think it would be great to add and remove widgets from the left and right side panels of the profile pages, i am sure you can do all that with coding but it would be much easier if the site builder was available on the profile pages as well any thoughts on this?

Was wondering when this question would come up. It was one of the points bough up when considering releasing Site Builder. "But as soon as we release it, we'll get comments about it not working on profiles."

Its been a lot longer than soon.

The answer is no. Because site builder takes over the whole page as a replacement for the .tpl that controls the page. There is not one .tpl file that controls the page for any page on the profile, all the pages come from modules that are there because of the quota system. So its too complex to also add site builder on top of that complexity and still be able to support it.

Site Builder is supposed to be a way to allow the construction of the top section of the site without the need for template adjustment.

Template adjustment still has more flexibility than Site Builder but with the cost of being slightly more involved to setup and requiring the need to deal with code.
