Issue
The contribution detail screen loads from the ground up, everytime a user accesses it. This leads to a situation where users are greeted with “0 Contributions” every time they access their contribution history. This is not really motivational. In addition, it leads to a “jump” in the entire interface, when the screen is loaded.

Solution(s)
- Can’t we just use the contribution number from the SE home screen and add it to the detail screen as well so contribution number won’t need to reload?
- In general, make sure to cache as much information from previously accessing this screen to avoid a complete reload every time a user accessed it.
- Show the entire text “Seen (...)” string from the beginning. E.g. use an ellipsis or XXX to avoid interface jumps, like this:
