Userpages.

What is the expected behavior?

To display a profile with a ban.

What actual behavior is given instead?

Only the ban shows up and the profile is located in the section.

Time of incident (if applicable).

N/A.

Can you reproduce the bug every time?

Yes.

What steps did you take to replicate this bug?

I left the last section of a cited rule open in the ban of my alt account. - Expired

Errors or other messages returned (if any).

N/A.

I really don't think we need a different bug report for every place that the section bug works

Perhaps I could've added it to the other forum if the bug occurred on a different forum, but this is a rather strange bug because some pages are affected while others aren't. I've never seen an entire user profile being propped up in a section from a ban record.
