 * Using Buddypress to create a membership site. Have placed a UserOnline widget
   on a page with statistics-type ‘Users Browsing Site’.
 * When clicking on the link formed by the user’s name it takes me to the url ../
   author/user-name which results in a ‘Nothing Found’ (as users do not create Posts).
   I had assumed that clicking on the user’s name would result in being taken to
   their profile page.
 * The correct url would be ../member/user-name (for Buddypress).
 * Is there a way to change this or is it baked into the template? Or is it that
   UserOnline just isn’t compatible with Buddypress?
 * Alternatively, is there a way to disable the addition of the link on the user
   name
 * Regards.

 * This plugin is not designed with BuddPress in mind. You can disable the link 
   to username under the settings, “Link user names?”

 * Hello Lester. OK, fair enough, many thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, of course,
   I had forgotten about the Link User Names setting! Excellent reminder.
