   How can I show the user's ID/Name in the side bar with something like <?php the_author_ID(); ?>? Like, Welcome (user's name).

   You mean like someone logged in?

   <?php
   setup_userdata();
   echo 'Howdy '. $user_identity . $user_ID	;
   // print_r($userdata); uncomment this to show whole array of userdata
    ?>

   Yes! But can I put the $user_ID in a link? Such as "/members?user=$user_ID"?

   '?author=' . $user_ID;

   Like, I have a members page. There's a link /members?user=username
   Can I have in a link /members?user= then your username, like <a href="/members?user=$user_ID">Your Profile</a>, and if so how?

    How can I create a "Your Profile" link with Profiler? It'll take you to YOUR profile if your logged in. A universal link.
