You alias 'shrewdedbydesign' is great! :) I guess you are referring to the Authors name in the top 10 / top 50 lists. I want to keep those pages super-focussed on viewing the posts, which is why they are not linked there. The author's name is already url linked when (1) viewing a post - author shown above post and you can click on them, and (2) when viewing 'Follows Shrews' as in this context the user is more mentally wanting to get to the author. I didn't want it linked in the top 10 / 50 lists. De-clutter / hardcore focus reasons. Thirdly (3) you can always type an author name *from anywhere and any time* using the 'Author' search at the bottom of each page. If you type just the letters 'shrew', for example your brief profile and last publications will come up. If there is only one obvious match, it goes directly to the user without the intermedia nearest match selection list.

Or more likely you when just viewing boards? I would say the same - the hardcore focus should be on post reading, not having links available for absolutely everything everywhere. We almost want booking-reading-like focus.

To view the author's posts it is extremely simple - you can do it instantly whilst by clicking the author's name whilst reading any of their posts, and if you are browsing a board and you want to see the author profile/posts (and in this case, the author doesn't even need to be displayed on the screen) then just type, no matter where you are, the first few letters in Author search at the bottom of the page.

Thank you :)
Makes sense. Keeps it simple and focused.
