Hey BBPress crew!

Quick question:

What is the function or method to call a post author or topic author name, as a link to their profile?

You can view the forum alpha @ http://www.pagelines.com/forum

Notice how the profile names in statements like “Started 6 days ago by arpowers” don’t have links to profiles. I would like this to link somewhere.

Use something like

<?php echo '<a href="' . esc_attr( get_user_profile_link( $topic->topic_poster ) ) . '">' . $topic->topic_poster_name . '</a>'?>
